erifan01 de28555c0b internal/bytealg: optimize Equal on arm64
Currently the 16-byte loop chunk16_loop is implemented with NEON instructions LD1, VMOV and VCMEQ.
Using scalar instructions LDP and CMP to achieve this loop can reduce the number of clock cycles.
For cases where the length of strings are between 4 to 15 bytes, loading the last 8 or 4 bytes at
a time to reduce the number of comparisons.
