    string: Fix buffer overrun in picolibc/newlib/libc/string/strrchr.c (#184)
    
    Reported by prodisDown:
    
            In picolibc/newlib/libc/string/strrchr.c
    
            if (i) { while ((s=strchr(s, i))) { last = s; s++; } } else { last = strchr(s, i); }
    
            Value (for example 0xFFFFFF00) in if (i) can pass test and
            then be typecasted to char inside strchr(). Then s++ and then
            buffer overrun.
    
            It can be fixed by preventive typecast i = (int) (char) i; or
            typecasting inside expression if ((char) i).
    
    Fixed by casting to char.
