Make Ch22 str iter harnesses unbounded

- Remove all #[kani::unwind(N)] from harnesses
- Abstract Chars::advance_by under #[cfg(kani)] to eliminate loops
- Bring CharSearcher/MultiCharEqSearcher/StrSearcher nondeterministic
  abstractions from Ch21 pattern.rs for next_match/next_match_back
- Use symbolic char inputs instead of literal strings
- Simplify SplitAsciiWhitespace harness to avoid slice iteration loops
- All harnesses now use nondeterministic overapproximation instead of
  bounded loop unwinding
