Because we need to limit the range for matching in [begin, pos).  If
using strstr, we have to set *pos = 0, then change it back after the
matching.  I remember I tried this in the first place but the code did
not look very pretty.

Pushed r13-6888.  Will make a backport into gcc-12 too after a
bootstrapping for verification.
