kernel.h: removed REPEAT_BYTE from kernel.h

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.

riscv: select DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS for efficient unaligned access HW

DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS uses the word-at-a-time API for optimised string
comparisons in the vfs layer.

This patch implements support for load_unaligned_zeropad in much the
same way as has been done for arm64.

Here is the test program and step:

$ cat tt.c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define ITERATIONS 1000000

#define PATH "123456781234567812345678123456781"

int main(void)
{
unsigned long i;
struct stat buf;

for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++)
stat(PATH, &buf);

return 0;
}

$ gcc -O2 tt.c
$ touch 123456781234567812345678123456781
$ time ./a.out

Per my test on T-HEAD C910 platforms, the above test performance is
improved by about 7.5%.

RISC-V: Generic library routines and assembly

This patch contains code that is more specific to the RISC-V ISA than it
is to Linux. It contains string and math operations, C wrappers for
various assembly instructions, stack walking code, and uaccess.
