[libc] Fix strcmp()/strncmp() to return proper values

Fix strcmp() and strncmp() to return proper standard positive/negative
values for unequal strings.  Current implementation is backwards
(i.e. the functions are returning negative when should be positive and
vice-versa).

Currently all consumers of these functions only check the return value
for ==0 or !=0 and so we can safely change the implementation without
breaking things.
