commit 5e0a7ecb6629461b28adc1a5aabcc0ede122f201

    Improve performance of strstr
    
    This patch significantly improves performance of strstr using a novel
    modified Horspool algorithm.  Needles up to size 256 use a bad-character
    table indexed by hashed pairs of characters to quickly skip past mismatches.
    Long needles use a self-adapting filtering step to avoid comparing the whole
    needle repeatedly.
    
    By limiting the needle length to 256, the shift table only requires 8 bits
    per entry, lowering preprocessing overhead and minimizing cache effects.
    This limit also implies worst-case performance is linear.
    
    Small needles up to size 3 use a dedicated linear search.  Very long needles
    use the Two-Way algorithm.
    
    The performance gain using the improved bench-strstr on Cortex-A72 is 5.8
    times basic_strstr and 3.7 times twoway_strstr.
    
    Tested against GLIBC testsuite, randomized tests and the GNULIB strstr test
    (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/tests/test-strstr.c).
