bpo-42924: Fix incorrect copy in bytearray_repeat (GH-24208) (#24212)
Before, using the * operator to repeat a bytearray would copy data from the start of the internal buffer (ob_bytes) and not from the start of the actual data (ob_start). (cherry picked from commit 61d8c54f43a7871d016f98b38f86858817d927d5) Co-authored-by: Tobias Holl <TobiasHoll@users.noreply.github.com>

+Fix ``bytearray`` repetition incorrectly copying data from the start of the buffer, even if the data is offset within the buffer (e.g. after reassigning a slice at the start of the ``bytearray`` to a shorter byte string).
