Zack Weinberg 09a596cc2c Remove bits/string.h.

These machine-dependent inline string functions have never been on by
default, and even if they were a good idea at the time they were
introduced, they haven't really been touched in ten to fifteen years
and probably aren't a good idea on current-gen processors.  Current
thinking is that this class of optimization is best left to the
compiler.
