bytes, strings: add LastIndexByte

Currently the packages have the following index functions:

func Index(s, sep []byte) int
func IndexAny(s []byte, chars string) int
func IndexByte(s []byte, c byte) int
func IndexFunc(s []byte, f func(r rune) bool) int
func IndexRune(s []byte, r rune) int

func LastIndex(s, sep []byte) int
func LastIndexAny(s []byte, chars string) int
func LastIndexFunc(s []byte, f func(r rune) bool) int

Searching for the last occurrence of a byte is quite common
for string parsing algorithms (e.g. find the last paren on a line).
Also addition of LastIndexByte makes the set more orthogonal.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
