  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-extbyte.h' provides:

  - extractbyte: extracts the byte from an specific index.

The 'string-repeat_bytes.h' provides:

  - 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, find_zero_ne_low,
    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.

Re-reading, "least significant" is misleading at best.

Better as "index 0 being the byte at the lowest address".

Isn't this wrong for s % sizeof == 0?

Yes, but on strrchr I called it only for s != 0.  Not sure which is the best
option here.

Just indicating that fact in the function comment is an improvement.

/* Mask off the bits defined for the S alignment value,
    for S mis-aligned for op_t. */

or something.

Right, I will add a better comment.  And I think adding the s begin 0
handling to return mask also makes sense.
