  Test behaviour of watchpoints triggered by libc's memset/memcpy/memmove.
These functions are frequently optimized with specialized instructions
that favor larger memory access operations, so make sure GDB behaves
correctly in their presence.

There's a separate watched variable for each function so that the testcase
can test whether GDB correctly identified the watchpoint that triggered.

Also, the watchpoint is 28 bytes away from the beginning of the buffer
being modified, so that large memory accesses (if present) are exercised.

PR testsuite/31484
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31484
---

Changes in v4:
- Also accept memmove symbol for memcpy watchpoint test (Suggested by Kevin).

Changes in v3:
- Reworked "continue until memset/memcpy/memmove watchpoint hits" tests to
  have a chance to work even without libc debug info (Suggested by Kevin).
- Dropped "require libc6_has_debug_info" call (Suggested by Kevin).

Changes in v2:
- Ensure watchpoints are aligned to 4 bytes.
- Add kfail for arm-linux.

LGTM, plus I didn't find any problems while testing on Fedora 39 x86_64,
both with and without debuginfo.
