perf(php-shim): scan the phar stub token with memchr

The stub token search compared every 18-byte window of the file case
insensitively. The token starts with a byte that ASCII case folding
leaves alone, so memchr can pick out the candidate offsets and leave
only those to the case-insensitive compare.

Over the 35 MB executable, finding the token in the embedded bundle
stub drops from 2.3 ms to 0.1 ms, and a scan that finds nothing drops
from 24 ms to 3.6 ms.
