Evandro Menezes a005c1ac4f [AArch64] Expand bcmp() for small block lengths ...

Patch D56593 by @courbet results in calls to `bcmp()` in some cases, should
the target support the it.  Unless `TTI::MemCmpExpansionOptions()`
is overridden by the target.

In a proprietary benchmark we see a performance drop of about 12% on PNG
compression before this patch, though it passes all tests.

This patch mirrors X86 for AArch64 and initializes
`TTI::MemCmpExpansionOptions()` to then expand calls to `bcmp()` when
appropriate.  No tuning of the parameters was performed, but, at this point,
it's enough to recover the performance drop above.

This problem also exists on ARM.  Once a consensus is reached for AArch64, we
can work to fix ARM as well.
