    Port the 0x7efe...feff pattern to GCC 6.
    
    See Steve Ellcey's bug report in:
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-07/msg00673.html
    * string/memrchr.c (MEMRCHR):
    * string/rawmemchr.c (RAWMEMCHR):
    * string/strchr.c (strchr):
    * string/strchrnul.c (STRCHRNUL):
    Rewrite code to avoid issues with signed shift overflow.
