Fixes [BZ# 28755] for wcsncmp by not multiply length by
sizeof(wchar_t).

Optimization are primarily to the loop logic and how the page cross
logic interacts with the loop.

The page cross logic is at times more expensive for short strings near
the end of a page but not crossing the page. This is done to retest
the page cross conditions with a non-faulty check and to improve the
logic for entering the loop afterwards. This is only particular cases,
however, and is general made up for by more than 10x improvements on
the transition from the page cross -> loop case.

The non-page cross cases as well are nearly universally improved.

test-strcmp, test-strncmp, test-wcscmp, and test-wcsncmp all pass.
