Improve performance

Browse source 
Removing ANCHORED means that after findIter is unable to find any more matches,
it doesn't bother searching unless there are some promising 0-len matches. This
significantly improves performance on problems like
`"abccccccccccccc".find(re"a")`. Previously, each "c" would require a call to
pcre_exec, which would iterate over [index_of_c..string.len], a O(n^2) process!
