Optimize split_part for single-character delimiters #21118

Description

@neilconway

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

split_part uses str::split(&str). For single-character ASCII delimiters, this is inefficient: internally, this uses a general string pattern matching algorithm. Calling str::split(char) uses memchr::memchr internally, which is notably faster.
