Bug 8323 – std.string.chompPrefix does not handle differing string types properly

This fails assert(equal(chompPrefix("\uFF28el\uFF4co", "\uFF28el\uFF4co"w), "")); This because chompPrefix is assuming that the two strings that it's given have the same character type even though it's templated to take two completely different character types.

I decided to improve the documentation for some of std.string's functions and ended up optimizing their implementations as well (I benchmarked the new versions against the old versions, so they should definitely be faster). I also ran into bug# 8323, so I fixed it as well. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/commit/8c747b0abac930c29cace48c9ca0fe48c04e628e Merge pull request #655 from jmdavis/string Fix for issue# 8323.
