By design, UTF-8 allows any byte-oriented substring searching algorithm,
since the sequence of bytes for a character cannot occur anywhere else
([source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8#Advantages_3)).
So `str_replace()` also works for UTF-8-encoded strings, assuming that
the input strings are valid UTF-8 strings. The previous implementation
of mbStrReplace() did nothing to detect invalid strings.
Also, `str_replace()` does not support [Unicode equivalence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence),
but nor do the other `mb_string` functions, and nor does `=SUBSTITUTE()` in Excel
(tested on Excel for Mac version 15.19.1, Excel 2016 for Windows and LibreOffice 5.1).
