It is faster to execute
MOVQ AX,(DI)
MOVQ AX,8(DI)
MOVQ AX,16(DI)
MOVQ AX,24(DI)
ADDQ $32,DI
than
STOSQ
STOSQ
STOSQ
STOSQ
However, in order to be able to jump into
the middle of a block of MOVQs, the call
site needs to pre-adjust DI.
If we're clearing a small area, the cost
of that DI pre-adjustment isn't repaid.
This CL switches the DUFFZERO implementation
to use a hybrid strategy, in which small
clears use STOSQ as before, but large clears
use mostly MOVQ/ADDQ blocks.

This makes it easier to experiment with alternative implementations.
While we're here, update the comments.
No functional changes. Passes toolstash -cmp.
