[PATCH v2 03/20] lib: move memmove()

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

By moving the function into an archive, x86 doesn't need to announce
anymore that is has its own implementation - symbol resolution by the
linker will now guarantee that the generic function remains unused, and
the forwarding to the compiler built-in gets done by the common header
anyway.

Allow the function to be individually linkable, discardable, and
overridable.
