XTheadBb has similar instructions like Zbb, which allow optimized
string processing:
* th.ff0: find-first zero is a CLZ instruction.
* th.tstnbz: Similar like orc.b, but with a bit-inverted result.
The instructions are documented here:
https://github.com/T-head-Semi/thead-extension-spec/tree/master/xtheadbb
These instructions can be found in the T-Head C906 and the C910.
Tested with the string tests.

It uses the bitmanip extension to optimize index_fist and index_last
with clz/ctz (using generic implementation that routes to compiler
builtin) and orc.b to check null bytes.
Checked the string test on riscv64 user mode.
