perf(strnlen): widen scan_c_string bounded NUL scan 8B SWAR -> 32B portable-SIMD

strnlen rode the 8-byte SWAR bounded path of scan_c_string while strlen has a
dedicated 64-lane SIMD dispatch — leaving strnlen ~1.79x slower than glibc's
strnlen. Added a 32-byte portable-SIMD NUL scan at the top of the bounded loop:
bounded mode guarantees `limit` readable bytes, so a Simd<u8,32> load is in-bounds
whenever i+32 <= limit (no page check needed). NUL-free panels advance 32; a panel
containing a NUL breaks to the existing 8-byte SWAR / scalar tail, which returns
the exact NUL index — so the result is identical (isomorphic by construction).
This also accelerates the bounded/repair-path length scans of strcmp/strcasecmp/
strncmp/strncasecmp that share scan_c_string.

Before/after (strnlen 4K, ratio = fl / glibc): 1.79x -> 1.26x.

Isomorphism + golden: conformance_diff_strnlen_simd runs 300000 random
(buffer, NUL-position, n) triples — n straddling the 32-byte panel, NULs at every
offset — with 0 divergences vs host glibc strnlen and a pinned sha256 of the
length stream.
