Speed improvements to SubstringSetMatcher

The main one is coputing the Aho-Corasick tree size in advance.

Also contained are code clean-ups and minor optimisations, like removing HasEdge/GetEdge sequences, or adding const to aid compiler optimisations.

This was tested on a benchmark adding 20k+ patterns. It showed a reduction of the running time by 30%.
