[PATCH v6 1/2] kernel.h: removed REPEAT_BYTE from kernel.h

From: Tanzir Hasan
Date: Tue Dec 26 2023 - 13:01:13 EST

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.
