strpos() && KMP

Hello,

this patch allow to use Knuth-Morrison-Pratt algorithm for strpos() function
(see Cormen et al. Introduction to Algorithms, MIT Press, 2001).

It also works with multibyte wchar.

In worst case current brute force strpos() takes O(n * m) (n && m is length of strings)
time (example: 'aaa...aaab' search in 'aaa...aaa').
KMP algo always takes O(n + m) time.
To check this someone need to create a table with one text attribute, and insert several thousands
record 'aa..aa'(for example, with lenght = 1000) . After execute "select count(*) from test where
strpos(a, 'aaa....aab') > 0;" on current and modified version.

Also, I advise to use "select .. where strpos(att, 'word') > 0;" instead "select .. where attr like '%word%'"
(strpos must be faster than regex).

In general, this belongs to artificial expressions. In natural language KMP is equal (execution time)
current strpos() nearly.
