Performance Changes:
Times are from N = 10 runs of the benchmark suite and are reported
as geometric mean of all ratios of New Implementation / Best Old
Implementation. Best Old Implementation was determined with the
highest ISA implementation.
wcscat-avx2 -> 0.975

Code Size Changes:
This change increase the size of libc.so by ~5.5kb bytes. For
reference the patch optimizing the normal strcpy family functions
decreases libc.so by ~5.2kb.
Full check passes on x86-64 and build succeeds for all ISA levels w/
and w/o multiarch.

1. Add ISA level build guards to different implementations.
- wcscpy-ssse3.S is used as ISA level 2/3/4.
- wcscpy-generic.c is only used at ISA level 1 and will
only build if compiled with ISA level == 1. Otherwise
there is no reason to include it as we will always use
wcscpy-ssse3.S
2. Refactor the ifunc selector and ifunc implementation list to use
the ISA level aware wrapper macros that allow functions below the
compiled ISA level (with a guranteed replacement) to be skipped.
Tested with and without multiarch on x86_64 for ISA levels:
{generic, x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4}
And m32 with and without multiarch.
No functions are changed. It just renames generic implementations from
'{func}_sse2' to '{func}_generic'. This is just because the postfix
"_sse2" was overloaded and was used for files that had hand-optimized
sse2 assembly implementations and files that just redirected back
to the generic implementation.
Full xcheck passed on x86_64.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Support usable check for all CPU features with the following changes:
1. Change struct cpu_features to
struct cpuid_features
{
struct cpuid_registers cpuid;
struct cpuid_registers usable;
};
struct cpu_features
{
struct cpu_features_basic basic;
struct cpuid_features features[COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX];
unsigned int preferred[PREFERRED_FEATURE_INDEX_MAX];
...
};
so that there is a usable bit for each cpuid bit.
2. After the cpuid bits have been initialized, copy the known bits to the
usable bits. EAX/EBX from INDEX_1 and EAX from INDEX_7 aren't used for
CPU feature detection.
3. Clear the usable bits which require OS support.
4. If the feature is supported by OS, copy its cpuid bit to its usable
bit.
5. Replace HAS_CPU_FEATURE and CPU_FEATURES_CPU_P with CPU_FEATURE_USABLE
and CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P to check if a feature is usable.
6. Add DEPR_FPU_CS_DS for INDEX_7_EBX_13.
7. Unset MPX feature since it has been deprecated.
The results are
1. If the feature is known and doesn't requre OS support, its usable bit
is copied from the cpuid bit.
2. Otherwise, its usable bit is copied from the cpuid bit only if the
feature is known to supported by OS.
3. CPU_FEATURE_USABLE/CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P are used to check if the
feature can be used.
4. HAS_CPU_FEATURE/CPU_FEATURE_CPU_P are used to check if CPU supports
the feature.
This patch rewrites wcscat using wcslen and wcscpy. This is similar to
the optimization done on strcat by 6e46de42fe.
The strcpy changes are mainly to add the internal alias to avoid PLT
calls.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and a build against the affected
architectures.
