* Project changes
  * All files are under a new dual license now (MIT OR Apache-2.0 WITH
    LLVM-exception at the election of the user).
  * Added MAINTAINERS file describing who maintains the subdirectories.
  * Added README.contributors files documenting contribution
    requirements.
  * Added new pl/ subdirectory for Arm's Performance Library related
    routines.
* String routine changes
  * Added memset benchmark.
  * Improved strlen and memcpy benchmarks.
  * Added SVE memcpy.
  * Updated arm string functions to support M-profile PACBTI.
  * Merged the MTE and generic versions of strcmp, strncmp, strcpy and
    stpcpy into one implementation.
  * Optimized memcmp, memchr-mte, memrchr, strchr-mte, strchrnul-mte,
    strrchr-mte, strlen, strlen-mte, strnlen, strcpy.
* Math routine changes
  * Fixed constants in sinf, cosf and sincosf to be compile time
    computed even with gcc-12 -frounding-math.
  * Fixed an invalid shift in logf.
  * Support floating-point exceptions in vector math routines when
    WANT_SIMD_EXCEPT is set.

This directory will contain optimized code that is maintained
separately from existing routines with different requirements.

Document contributor requirements.

The outgoing license was MIT only. The new dual license allows
using the code under Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception license too.

* String routine changes
  * Added AArch64 ILP32 ABI support.
  * Fixed SVE strnlen return value.
  * Added MTE related __mtag_tag_region.
  * Added MTE related __mtag_tag_zero_region.
  * Minor code cleanups.

* New math routines
  * Scalar erff and erf using fma.

* Bug fixes
  * strcmp-mte nul check
  * strncmp-mte with large size
  * arm memcpy with large size (CVE-2020-6096)
* String routines performance improvements
  * strlen
  * memmove with backward copy
* Benchmarking code for strings and memory routines
  * strlen

* New functionality (64-bit Arm)
  * string: Optimized MTE variants of strlen, strnlen, strchr,
    strchrnul, strrchr, memchr, memrchr, strcpy, stpcpy, strcmp,
    strncmp
  * string: Changes to support BTI
  * string: New optimized memrchr, strnlen
* Performance improvements (Neoverse N1)
  * strchr/strchrnul: 21% improvement on long strings
  * strrchr: 11% improvement
  * strnlen: 130% improvement on long strings, 50% on short strings
* Benchmark and tests
  * string: New memcpy benchmark
  * string: Cleanup testsuite and improve test coverage

New functionality
* string: New strrchr and stpcpy routines
* string: New Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) variants of strlen and strchr
* math: New vector version of pow(double)
* networking: Optimized ones' complement checksum for 32-bit and 64-bit Arm

Performance improvements
* string: Improved memcpy and memmove (SIMD and non-SIMD) for 64-bit Arm
* string: Improved memset for 64-bit Arm

Add scalar and NEON ones' complement checksumming implementations for
AArch64 and Armv7-A.

This Assignment Agreement has to be filled in, signed and sent to

contributions can be accepted into optimized-routines.

Mention releases.

The string directory is for optimized string functions, currently
it is just a skeleton with dummy code.

To allow subprojects other than math, the build system and directory
layout is changed: all math related code, tools and tests are under
the math directory now, new subprojects should be similarly self-
contained.

The top level Makefile design is still kept, but the subproject build
directories provide their own Dir.mk with the build rules for the
subproject. The user interface of config.mk is kept for now, in the
future subproject specific flags and make variables may be added for
finer grained control.

math/single contained code for systems without double precision fpu
and rem_pio2 is not used currently and likely will be designed
differently when double precision trigonometric functions are added.

Scripts are known to work with sollya 6.0.

Add a single makefile such that it will rarely need modifications
with regular source code changes.

The usual configure step for build environment detection is done
manually by editing config.mk, it is expected to be simple make
variable changes (mostly CFLAGS), later a simple configure script
can be added to generate config.mk if necessary.

Update the README.
