[issue7462] Implement fastsearch algorithm for rfind/rindex

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Some things:
- is STRINGLIB_CMP still used? if not, it should be removed (use grep :-))
- please don't use "#if 1"
- if USE_FAST isn't used anymore, it should be remove as well
- did you check that rpartition, split and friends were sped up by the
patch?

Thanks for working on this!
