mysys: disable "optimized" memcpy from 18 years ago

MDEV-15843 mysys: remove optimized memcpy from 18 years ago

While this code has remained dormant for 18 years, libc implementers
have used assembly features to gain improvements using achitecture
features optimized and by the buffer length like:
* https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libc/amd64/string/memcmp.S
* https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/aarch64/memcmp.S
* https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/memcpy.S

From an sysbench-1.0.6 oltp_read_only test on binary charset table:
