refactor: redefine String.replace (#10986)
This PR defines `String.Slice.replace` and redefines `String.replace` to
use the `Slice` version.

The new implementation is generic in the pattern, so it supports things
like `"education".replace isVowel "☃!" = "☃!d☃!c☃!t☃!☃!n"`. Since it
uses the `ForwardSearcher` infrastructure, `String` patterns are
searched using KMP, unlike the previous implementation which had
quadratic runtime. As a side effect, the behavior when replacing an
empty string now matches that of most other programming languages,
namely `"abc".replace "" "k" = "kakbkck"`.
