Issue:
Add support for the `*` operator
Jinja2 supports e.g. `{{ ' ' * 10 }}` but that doesn't work with MiniJinja. We were able to circumvent the issue with a recursive macro, but that operator would simplify things!

```
Error: invalid operation: tried to use * operator on unsupported types string and number (in template.html:15)
```

Below is the workaround in case anyone else is having the same issue.

```
{%- macro repeat(s, times) -%}
  {%- if times >= 1 -%}
    {{ s }}
  
    {%- if times > 1 -%}
      {{ repeat(s, times - 1) }}
    {%- endif -%}
    
  {%- endif -%}
{%- endmacro -%}

{{ repeat("abc", 4) }}
```



Discussion / hints:
That makes sense. Would also need to support sequences and potentially iterators. I will look into it. 
Thanks!

 All notable changes to MiniJinja are documented here.
 
+## 2.0.2
+
+- Implemented sequence (+ some iterator) and string repeating with the `*`
+  operator to match Jinja2 behavior.  #519
+
 ## 2.0.1
 
 - Fixed an issue that caused custom delimiters to not work in the Python
