std.mem: rename all "index of" functions
Moving towards our function naming convention of having one word per concept and constructing function names out of concatenated concepts. In `std.mem` the concepts are: * "find" - return index of substring * "pos" - starting index parameter * "last" - search from the end * "linear" - simple for loop rather than fancy algo * "scalar" - substring is a single element
