This allows using text position search functions with nondeterministic collations. These functions are - position, strpos - replace - split_part - string_to_array - string_to_table which all use common internal infrastructure. There was previously no internal implementation of this, so it was met with a not-supported error. This adds the internal implementation and removes the error. Unlike with deterministic collations, the search cannot use any byte-by-byte optimized techniques but has to go substring by substring. We also need to consider that the found match could have a different length than the needle and that there could be substrings of different length matching at a position. In most cases, we need to find the longest such substring (greedy semantics), but this can be configured by each caller.
