memset symbol #8

Description

@Dragorn421

I am only using mq debug so I didn't check other linker scripts but it would be a good idea to do so.

standard memset

(man memset): void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);

fills the first n bytes of the memory area pointed to by s with the constant byte c.

oot memset

there are two implementations:
void Lib_MemSet(u8* dest, size_t size, u8 val); (unlike the standard)
void* MemSet(void* dest, s32 val, s32 size); (like the standard)

the addresses are accurate, but memset = Lib_MemSet is an issue since they use a different prototype
memset = MemSet would be better?

But I'm not sure why memset is even defined in the first place
