I went looking through the files under vlib to see if any of them still used the byte type and replaced likely candidates with u8. I don't think I was too aggressive considering that the byte type still works but I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and change these cases.

This pull request replaces the use of byte and &byte types with u8 and &u8 types in various modules and tests, following the recent renaming of the byte alias to u8 in the V language. This improves consistency, clarity, and compatibility across the codebase.
