* Building of the pattern collation element list and the boyer moore strsrch

* For both cases we need to remember the size of the composed and decomposed
* versions of the string. Since the Boyer-Moore shift calculations shifts by
* a number of characters in the text and tries to match the pattern from that
* offset, the shift value can not be too large in case we miss some
* characters. To choose a right shift size, we estimate the NFC form of the
* and use its size as a shift guide. The NFC form should be the small
* possible representation of the pattern. Anyways, we'll err on the smaller
* shift size. Hence the calculation for minlength.
* Canonical match will be performed slightly differently. We'll split the
* pattern into 3 parts, the prefix accents (PA), the middle string bounded by
* the first and last base character (MS), the ending accents (EA). Matches
* will be done on MS first, and only when we match MS then some processing
* will be required for the prefix and end accents in order to determine if
* they match PA and EA. Hence the default shift values
* for the canonical match will take the size of either end's accent into
* consideration. Forwards search will take the end accents into consideration
* for the default shift values and the backwards search will take the prefix
* accents into consideration.

/**
* If a direction switch is required, we'll count the number of ces till the
* beginning of the collation element iterator and iterate forwards that
* number of times. This is so that we get to the correct point within the
* string to continue the search in. Imagine when we are in the middle of the
* normalization buffer when the change in direction is request. arrrgghh....
* After searching the offset within the collation element iterator will be
* shifted to the start of the match. If a match is not found, the offset would
* have been set to the end of the text string in the collation element
* iterator.
* Okay, here's my take on normalization buffer. The only time when there can
* be 2 matches within the same normalization is when the pattern is consists
* of all accents. But since the offset returned is from the text string, we
* should not confuse the caller by returning the second match within the
* same normalization buffer. If we do, the 2 results will have the same match
* offsets, and that'll be confusing. I'll return the next match that doesn't
* fall within the same normalization buffer. Note this does not affect the
* results of matches spanning the text and the normalization buffer.
* The position to start searching is taken from the collation element
* iterator. Callers of this API would have to set the offset in the collation
* element iterator before using this method.
