Use slice iterators in the tight search loops in `byte_search!` macro. This shaves off 2 instructions from each turn of the loop, and makes "no match" the default path on each iteration, which is better as search spends most of its time running through bytes that *don't* match, until it find one that does. https://godbolt.org/z/99zo8esf8 +2% on one of lexer benchmarks. It turns out idiomatic Rust is faster than C-style pointer manipulation! Who'd have thought it?
