Given that memset/memcpy are intrinsics, the compiler might insert calls
to these routines unexpectedly, including in code that executes after
ExitBootServices(). In this case, the respective boot services are no
longer accessible, and calling them will cause a crash.
So fall back to a bytewise copy/store if this happens to occur, even
though no such occurrences are known to exist in the kernel currently.

The stub is used in different execution environments, but on arm64,
RISC-V and LoongArch, we still use the core kernel's implementation of
memcpy and memset, as they are just a branch instruction away, and can
generally be reused even from code such as the EFI stub that runs in a
completely different address space.
KAsan complicates this slightly, resulting in the need for some hacks to
expose the uninstrumented, __ prefixed versions as the normal ones, as
the latter are instrumented to include the KAsan checks, which only work
in the core kernel.
Unfortunately, #define'ing memcpy to __memcpy when building C code does
not guarantee that no explicit memcpy() calls will be emitted. And with
the upcoming zboot support, which consists of a separate binary which
therefore needs its own implementation of memcpy/memset anyway, it's
better to provide one explicitly instead of linking to the existing one.
Given that EFI exposes implementations of memmove() and memset() via the
boot services table, let's wire those up in the appropriate way, and
drop the references to the core kernel ones.
