1701e4f3d4 reenable word-at-at-time copying in memmove
before restrict was added, memove called memcpy for forward copies and
used a byte-at-a-time loop for reverse copies. this was changed to
avoid invoking UB now that memcpy has an undefined copying order,
making memmove considerably slower.

performance is still rather bad, so I'll be adding asm soon.

594318fd3d remove dependency of memmove on memcpy direction
this commit introduces a performance regression in many uses of
memmove, which will need to be addressed before the next release. i'm
making it as a temporary measure so that the restrict patch can be
committed without invoking undefined behavior when memmove calls
memcpy with overlapping regions.
