Extend the string benchmarking suite to include strnlen(), strchr(),
and strrchr().
For character search functions strchr() and strrchr(), the benchmark
targets the NUL character. This ensures the entire string is scanned,
providing a consistent measure of full-length processing efficiency
comparable to strlen().

Introduce a benchmarking framework to the string_kunit test suite to
measure the execution efficiency of string functions.
The implementation is inspired by crc_benchmark(), measuring throughput
(MB/s) and latency (ns/call) across a range of string lengths. It
includes a warm-up phase, disables preemption during measurement, and
uses a fixed seed for reproducible results.
This framework allows for comparing different implementations (e.g.,
generic C vs. architecture-optimized assembly) within the KUnit
environment.
Initially, provide a benchmark for strlen().

Add a KUnit test for strrchr() to verify correctness across
different string lengths and memory alignments. Use vmalloc()
to place the NUL character at the page boundary to ensure
over-reads are detected.
