Use `memchr` for string lexing (#9888)
## Summary
On `main`, string lexing consists of walking through the string
character-by-character to search for the closing quote (with some
nuance: we also need to skip escaped characters, and error if we see
newlines in non-triple-quoted strings). This PR rewrites `lex_string` to
instead use `memchr` to search for the closing quote, which is
significantly faster. On my machine, at least, the `globals.py`
benchmark (which contains a lot of docstrings) gets 40% faster...
