This is not very efficient because when doing lookbehind, we essentially scan some of the indices twice, and in general the lookbehind functionality has been a source of bugs because it is overcomplicated. The bit ignore feature on lookbehind is also unnecessary because we don't really win anything by ignoring bits we have already scanned, as they would not trigger any matches anyway. This patch reworks find_prev_n() to flatten the loop and remove the lookbehind and bit-ignore functionality, instead replacing it with state machine-like behavior. This makes the code simpler to reason about.
