An improvement of 10-30% in the speed of the matcher (LC_ALL=C or other
single-byte character sets) can be achieved by avoiding that OP_PERIOD goes
through the slow multibyte paths.  This is done by the attached patch.

While this patch only affects SBCS (i.e. scripts, which are starting to use
LC_ALL=C to avoid bugs due to the collation rules of some languages), in
principle UTF-8 optimization could be fixed to be optimizable as well.  The
slowness of prune_impossible_nodes, alas, makes this impractical yet.
