Enhance `string_list_split_in_place()` to accept multiple characters as
delimiters instead of a single character.
Instead of using `strchr(2)` to locate the first occurrence of the given
delimiter character, `string_list_split_in_place_multi()` uses
`strcspn(2)` to move past the initial segment of characters comprised of
any characters in the delimiting set.
When only a single delimiting character is provided, `strpbrk(2)` (which
is implemented with `strcspn(2)`) has equivalent performance to
`strchr(2)`. Modern `strcspn(2)` implementations treat an empty
delimiter or the singleton delimiter as a special case and fall back to
calling strchrnul(). Both glibc[1] and musl[2] implement `strcspn(2)`
this way.
This change is one step to removing `strtok(2)` from the tree. Note that
`string_list_split_in_place()` is not a strict replacement for
`strtok()`, since it will happily turn sequential delimiter characters
into empty entries in the resulting string_list. For example:
string_list_split_in_place(&xs, "foo:;:bar:;:baz", ":;", -1)
would yield a string list of:
["foo", "", "", "bar", "", "", "baz"]
Callers that wish to emulate the behavior of strtok(2) more directly
should call `string_list_remove_empty_items()` after splitting.
To avoid regressions for the new multi-character delimter cases, update
t0063 in this patch as well.

Add a sort command to test-string-list that reads lines from stdin,
stores them in a string_list and then sorts it. Use it in a simple
perf test script to measure the performance of string_list_sort().
