Current `non_temporal_threshold` set to roughly '3/4 * sizeof_L3 /
ncores_per_socket'. This patch updates that value to roughly
'sizeof_L3 / 2`

The original value (specifically dividing the `ncores_per_socket`) was
done to limit the amount of other threads' data a `memcpy`/`memset`
could evict.

Dividing by 'ncores_per_socket', however leads to exceedingly low
non-temporal threshholds and leads to using non-temporal stores in
cases where `rep movsb` is multiple times faster.

Furthermore, non-temporal stores are written directly to disk so using
it at a size much smaller than L3 can place soon to be accessed data
much further away than it otherwise could be. As well, modern machines
are able to detect streaming patterns (especially if `rep movsb` is
used) and provide LRU hints to the memory subsystem. This in affect
caps the total amount of eviction at 1/cache_assosiativity, far below
meaningfully thrashing the entire cache.

As best I can tell, the benchmarks that lead this small threshold
where done comparing non-temporal stores versus standard cacheable
stores. A better comparison (linked below) is to be `rep movsb` which,
on the measure systems, is nearly 2x faster than non-temporal stores
at the low-end of the previous threshold, and within 10% for over
100MB copies (well past even the current threshold). In cases with a
low number of threads competing for bandwidth, `rep movsb` is ~2x
faster up to `sizeof_L3`.

Benchmarks comparing non-temporal stores, rep movsb, and cacheable
stores where done using:
