diffcore-pickaxe: use memmem()
Use memmem() instead of open-coding it. The system libraries usually have a
much faster version than the memcmp()-loop here. Even our own fall-back in
compat/, which is used on Windows, is slightly faster.

best of five results is shown:
$ STRING='Ensure that the real time constraints are schedulable.'
$ git log -S"$STRING" HEAD -- kernel/sched.c >/dev/null
