This adds runtime support to use Zbb REV8 for 32- and 64-bit byte-wise
swaps. The result is about five times slower than if targetting Zbb
statically, but still a lot faster than the default bespoke C code or a
call to GCC run-time functions.
For 16-bit swap, this is however unsurprisingly a lot worse, and so this
sticks to the baseline. In fact, even using REV8 statically does not
seem to be beneficial in that case.
