Numbers for very small sizes (< 128B) are much noisier for non-cached
benchmarks like the walk benchmarks, so don't include them.
* benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c (START_SIZE): Set to 128.
* benchtests/bench-memmove-walk.c (START_SIZE): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset-walk.c (START_SIZE): Likewise.

Make the walking benchmarks walk only backwards since copying both
ways is biased in favour of implementations that use non-temporal
stores for larger sizes; falkor is one of them. This also fixes up
bugs in computation of the result which ended up multiplying the
length with the timing result unnecessarily.
* benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c (do_one_test): Copy only
backwards. Fix timing computation.
* benchtests/bench-memmove-walk.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset-walk.c (do_one_test): Walk backwards
on memset by N at a time. Fix timing computation.

This benchmark is an attempt to eliminate cache effects from string
benchmarks. The benchmark walks both ways through a large memory area
and copies different sizes of memory and alignments one at a time
instead of looping around in the same memory area. This is a good
metric to have alongside the other memcpy benchmarks, especially for
larger sizes where the likelihood of the call being done only once is
pretty high.
* benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c: New file.
* benchtests/Makefile (string-benchset): Add it.
