[PATCH] import memmem() with linear complexity from Gnulib

["René Scharfe" <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx>]

Gnulib and glibc have gained a memmem() implementation using the Two-Way
algorithm, which needs constant space and linear time.  Import it to
compat/ in order to replace the simple quadratic implementation there.

memmem.c and str-two-way.h are copied verbatim from the repository at
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git, with the following changes to
memmem.c to make it fit into git's build environment:

	< memmem (const void *haystack_start, size_t haystack_len,
	---
	> gitmemmem(const void *haystack_start, size_t haystack_len,
