Addresses #5566. The `ee.once()` function is currently documented as
invoking the listener, and then removing it when the event is
triggered. However, this is not really the case. The listener is removed
and _then_ invoked. This only matters in a narrow set of use cases, but
when it matters, it matters that the docs are correct.
See the issue (#5566) for a discussion on why the code has not been
modified to match the documentation, but instead the documentation has
been modified to match the code.

* Remove unnecessary templating from SearchString
SearchString used to have separate PatternChar and SubjectChar template type
arguments, apparently to support things like searching for an 8-bit string
inside a 16-bit string or vice versa. However, SearchString is only used from
node_buffer.cc, where PatternChar and SubjectChar are always the same. Since
this is extra complexity that's unused and untested (simplifying to a single
Char template argument still compiles and didn't break any unit tests), I
removed it.
* Use Boyer-Hoore[-Horspool] for both indexOf and lastIndexOf
Add test cases for lastIndexOf. Test the fallback from BMH to
Boyer-Moore, which looks like it was totally untested before.
* Extra bounds checks in node_buffer.cc

* Buffer.lastIndexOf: clean up, enforce consistency w/ String.lastIndexOf

The intention behind is to present the user a way to

allow this out-of-the-box, since it is neither passing a require

The missing docs for this behaviour have produced a number of
Q&A items and have also been discussed in the node-archive repo.
In both cases there was no real canonical answer.

path. If the inode of the path subsequently changes, `fs.watch()` will
continue watching the original inode and events for the path will no
longer be emitted. This is expected behavior.
