[LIB]: Boyer-Moore extension for textsearch infrastructure strike #2

Attached the implementation of the Boyer-Moore string search
algorithm for the new textsearch infrastructure.

I've added as well a note about the limitations that this approach
presents, as Thomas has remarked.

+ *
+ *   Note: Since Boyer-Moore (BM) performs searches for matchings from right 
+ *   to left, it's still possible that a matching could be spread over 
+ *   multiple blocks, in that case this algorithm won't find any coincidence.
+ *   
+ *   If you're willing to ensure that such thing won't ever happen, use the
+ *   Knuth-Pratt-Morris (KMP) implementation instead. In conclusion, choose 
+ *   the proper string search algorithm depending on your setting. 
+ *
+ *   Say you're using the textsearch infrastructure for filtering, NIDS or 
+ *   any similar security focused purpose, then go KMP. Otherwise, if you 
+ *   really care about performance, say you're classifying packets to apply
+ *   Quality of Service (QoS) policies, and you don't mind about possible
+ *   matchings spread over multiple fragments, then go BM.
