This commit extends the vectorscan API with access to low level algorithms. This would enable a develloper to bypass most of the overhead of the regular vectorscan scan when the pattern to check is simple. Currently it only targets pure literal patterns.

An implementation and a test are provided as a proof of concept and demonstrator on how an API user may call it. They only cover a single function but more will come once we've agreed on the header.
