After a toolchain upgrade (I think), the x86 fix_hypercall_test started
throwing warnings due to -Werror=array-bounds rightly complaining that
the test is generating an out-of-bounds array access.

The "obvious" fix is to replace the memcpy() with a memcmp() and compare
only the exact size of the hypercall instruction.  That worked, until I
fiddled with the code a bit more and suddenly the test started jumping into
the weeds due to gcc generating a call to the external memcmp() through the
PLT, which isn't supported in the selftests.

To fix that mess, which has been a pitfall for quite some time, provide
implementations of memcmp(), memcpy(), and memset() to effectively override
the compiler built-ins.  My thought is to start with the helpers that are
most likely to be used in guest code, and then add more as needed.

Tested on x86 and ARM, compile tested on RISC-V and s390.  Full testing on
RISC-V and s390 would be welcome, the seemingly benign addition of memxxx()
helpers managed to break ARM due to gcc generating an infinite loop for
memset() (see patch 1 for details).
