fix aliasing-based undefined behavior in string functions
use the GNU C may_alias attribute if available, and fallback to naive byte-by-byte loops if __GNUC__ is not defined. this patch has been written to minimize changes so that history remains reviewable; it does not attempt to bring the affected code into a more consistent or elegant form.
