tools/nolibc: x86-64: Use rep stosb for memset()

Browse source 
Simplify memset() on the x86-64 arch.

The x86-64 arch has a 'rep stosb' instruction, which can perform
memset() using only a single instruction, given:

    %al  = value (just like the second argument of memset())
    %rdi = destination
    %rcx = length

Before this patch:
```
  00000000000010c9 <memset>:
    10c9: 48 89 f8              mov    %rdi,%rax
    10cc: 48 85 d2              test   %rdx,%rdx
    10cf: 74 0e                 je     10df <memset+0x16>
    10d1: 31 c9                 xor    %ecx,%ecx
    10d3: 40 88 34 08           mov    %sil,(%rax,%rcx,1)
    10d7: 48 ff c1              inc    %rcx
    10da: 48 39 ca              cmp    %rcx,%rdx
    10dd: 75 f4                 jne    10d3 <memset+0xa>
    10df: c3                    ret
```

After this patch:
```
  0000000000001511 <memset>:
    1511: 96                    xchg   %eax,%esi
    1512: 48 89 d1              mov    %rdx,%rcx
    1515: 57                    push   %rdi
    1516: f3 aa                 rep stos %al,%es:(%rdi)
    1518: 58                    pop    %rax
    1519: c3                    ret
```

v2:
  - Use pushq %rdi / popq %rax (Alviro).
  - Use xchg %eax, %esi (Willy).
