Macros to operate on unaligned access for string operations:

  - create_mask: create a mask based on pointer alignment to sets up
    non-zero bytes before the beginning of the word so a following
    operation (such as find zero) might ignore these bytes.

  - repeat_bytes: setup an word with each byte being c_in.

  - highbit_mask: create a mask with high bit of each byte being 1,
    and the low 7 bits being all the opposite of the input.

  - word_containing: return the address of the op_t word containing the
    addres.

These macros are meant to be used on optimized vectorized string
implementations.
