wordpart.h: Add REPEAT_BYTE_U32()
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.
