lib/libc/string/bcmp.c: fix integer overflow bug
bcmp() returned the number of remaining bytes when the main loop exits.
In case of a match, this is zero, else a positive integer. On systems
where SIZE_MAX > INT_MAX, the implicit conversion from size_t to int in
the return value may cause the number of remaining bytes to overflow,
becoming zero and falsely indicating a successful comparison.
Fix the bug by always returning 0 on equality, 1 otherwise.
