compiler: implement copy directly

The compiler now implements the copy builtin directly instead of calling sliceCopy.
The length is calculated with the llvm.umax.* intrinsics, and the move is performed by llvm.memmove.*.
Both of these operations are easily understood by LLVM's optimization passes.
The type's alignment is also provided to llvm.memmove.*, which is useful when rewriting the move.

Interp no longer needs to reimplement sliceCopy.
Some edge case handling was implemented by sliceCopy but not llvm.memmove.*/llvm.memcpy.*.
I copied this over, so copies of external slices should work now.
Volatile moves/copies are now run at runtime by interp.

There is a 4-byte size increase due to some confusing length logic in sendUSBPacket.
I will look at sendUSBPacket in a future PR.
