The string searching is implemented separately so other functions
may make use of it in the future.

This also fixes the semantics of some corner cases with the empty
match. TODOs for genericReplacer in the tests are fixed.

When all old & new string values are single bytes,
byteReplacer is now used, instead of the generic
algorithm.
