Hello Matteo,

Replace the assembly mem{cpy,move,set} with C equivalent.

Try to access RAM with the largest bit width possible, but without
doing unaligned accesses.

Tested on a BeagleV Starlight with a SiFive U74 core, where the
improvement is noticeable.
There are already generic C implementations for memcpy/memmove/memset at 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.13-rc7/source/lib/string.c#L871 but 
are doing one byte at a time, I suggest you update them to do 
word-by-word copy instead of introducing yet another memcpy/memmove C 
implementation on arch/riscv/.
