In some cases it's necessary to replicate a byte across a u32 value, for
which REPEAT_BYTE() would be helpful. Currently this requires explicit
masking of the result to avoid sparse warnings, as e.g.
(u32)REPEAT_BYTE(0xa0))
... will result in a warning:
cast truncates bits from constant value (a0a0a0a0a0a0a0a0 becomes a0a0a0a0)
Add a new REPEAT_BYTE_U32() which does the necessary masking internally,
so that we don't need to duplicate this for every usage.

The bitops.h is for bit related operations. The aligned_byte_mask()
is about byte (or part of the machine word) operations, for which
we have a separate header, move the mentioned macro to wordpart.h
to consolidate similar operations.

The wordpart.h header is collecting APIs related to the handling
parts of the word (usually in byte granularity). The upper_*_bits()
and lower_*_bits() are good candidates to be moved to there.
This helps to clean up header dependency hell with regard to kernel.h
as the latter gathers completely unrelated stuff together and slows
down compilation (especially when it's included into other header).

This patch creates wordpart.h and includes it in asm/word-at-a-time.h
for all architectures. WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS depends on kernel.h
because of REPEAT_BYTE. Moving this to another header and including it
where necessary allows us to not include the bloated kernel.h. Making
this implicit dependency on REPEAT_BYTE explicit allows for later
improvements in the lib/string.c inclusion list.
