Title: Fix TwoWaySearcher to work when used with periodic needles.

There is a check in TwoWaySearcher::new to determine whether the needle
is periodic. This is needed because during searching when a match fails,
we cannot advance the position by the entire length of the needle when
it is periodic, but can only advance by the length of the period.

The reason "bananas".contains("nana") (and similar searches) were
returning false was because the periodicity check was wrong.

Also, thanks to @Gankro, who came up with many buggy examples.

Closes #16589
