Add string vectorized find and detection functions

This patch adds generic string find and detection meant to be used in
generic vectorized string implementation.  The idea is to decompose the
basic string operation so each architecture can reimplement if it
provides any specialized hardware instruction.

The 'string-misc.h' provides miscellaneous functions:

  - extractbyte: extracts the byte from an specific index.
  - repeat_bytes: setup an word by replicate the argument on each byte.

The 'string-fza.h' provides zero byte detection functions:

  - find_zero_low, find_zero_all, find_eq_low, find_eq_all,
    find_zero_eq_low, find_zero_eq_all, and find_zero_ne_all

The 'string-fzb.h' provides boolean zero byte detection functions:

  - has_zero: determine if any byte within a word is zero.
  - has_eq: determine byte equality between two words.
  - has_zero_eq: determine if any byte within a word is zero along with
    byte equality between two words.

The 'string-fzi.h' provides positions for string-fza.h results:

  - index_first: return index of first zero byte within a word.
  - index_last: return index of first byte different between two words.

The 'string-fzc.h' provides a combined version of fza and fzi:

  - index_first_zero_eq: return index of first zero byte within a word or
    first byte different between two words.
  - index_first_zero_ne: return index of first zero byte within a word or
    first byte equal between two words.
  - index_last_zero: return index of last zero byte within a word.
  - index_last_eq: return index of last byte different between two words.

The 'string-shift.h' provides a way to mask off parts of a work based on
some alignmnet (to handle unaligned arguments):

  - shift_find, shift_find_last.
