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.
