lib/string: optimized memmove

When the destination buffer is before the source one, or when the buffers
doesn't overlap, it's safe to use memcpy() instead, which is optimized to
use a bigger data size possible.

This "optimization" only covers a common case.  In future, proper code
which does the same thing as memcpy() does but backwards can be done.
