1. x86-64 byval alignment should be max of 8 and alignment of type. Previously the code was not doing what the commit message was saying.
2. Do not use byte repeat move and store operations. These are slow.

on any current target and aren't optimized in DAGCombiner. Instead
of using intermediate nodes, expand the operations, choosing between
simple loads/stores, target-specific code, and library calls,
immediately.
Previously, the code to emit optimized code for these operations
was only used at initial SelectionDAG construction time; now it is
used at all times. This fixes some cases where rep;movs was being
used for small copies where simple loads/stores would be better.
This also cleans up code that checks for alignments less than 4;
let the targets make that decision instead of doing it in
target-independent code. This allows x86 to use rep;movs in
low-alignment cases.
Also, this fixes a bug that resulted in the use of rep;stos for
memsets of 0 with non-constant memory size when the alignment was
at least 4. It's better to use the library in this case, which
can be significantly faster when the size is large.
This also preserves more SourceValue information when memory
intrinsics are lowered into simple loads/stores.

To do this it is necessary to add a "always inline" argument to the
memcpy node. For completeness I have also added this node to memmove
and memset. I have also added getMem* functions, because the extra
argument makes it cumbersome to use getNode and because I get confused
by it :-)
