support the ::S anchored search (string comparison) command (and ::FD, ::FR, ::FS as well)
* The colon modifier can now occur 2 times.
Specifying `@` more than once or `:` more than twice is an error now.
* Commands do not check for excess colon modifiers - almost every command would have
to check it. Instead, a double colon will simply behave like a single colon on most
commands.
* All search commands inherit the anchored semantics, but it's not very useful in some combinations
like -::S, ::N or ::FK.
That's why the `::` variants are not documented everywhere.
* The lexer.checkheader macro could be simplified and should also be faster now,
speeding up startup.
Eventually this macro can be made superfluous, e.g. by using 1:FB or 0,1^Q::S.
