remove dependency of memmove on memcpy direction

this commit introduces a performance regression in many uses of
memmove, which will need to be addressed before the next release. i'm
making it as a temporary measure so that the restrict patch can be
committed without invoking undefined behavior when memmove calls
memcpy with overlapping regions.
