The test run is unnecessary and interferes with the benchmark. The
tests are done during make check, so they're unnecessary here.

Clear the destination buffer updated by the previous run in bench-memcpy.c
and test-memcpy.c to catch the error when the following implementations do
not copy anything.
[BZ #19907]

buffer updated by the previous run.

* benchtests/bench-memmove.c (do_one_test): Add a comment.
* string/test-memmove.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
Switch the string benchmarks to using bench-timing.h instead
of hp-timing.h directly. This allows the string benchmarks to
be run usefully on architectures such as ARM that do not have
support for hp-timing.h.
In order to do this the tests have been changed from timing each
individual call and picking the lowest execution time recorded to
timing a number of calls and taking the mean execution time.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-04 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_PRINT_MEAN): New macro.
* benchtests/bench-string.h: Include bench-timing.h instead
of including hp-timing.h directly. (INNER_LOOP_ITERS): New
define. (HP_TIMING_BEST): Delete macro. (test_init): Remove
call to HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT.

instead of hp-timing.h macros.

This is the initial support for string function performance tests,
along with copying tests for memcpy and memcpy-ifunc as proof of
concept. The string function benchmarks perform operations at
different alignments and for different sizes and compare performance
between plain operations and the optimized string operations. Due to
this their output is incompatible with the function benchmarks where
we're interested in fastest time, throughput, etc.
In future, the correctness checks in the benchmark tests can be
removed. Same goes for the performance measurements in the
string/test-*.
