TT#69200 Reimplement itemcount() based on grep()

This is somewhat faster:

                Rate  for_case grep_case       for      grep
  for_case   53476/s        --      -32%      -42%      -50%
  grep_case  78125/s       46%        --      -15%      -27%
  for        91743/s       72%       17%        --      -14%
  grep      106383/s       99%       36%       16%        --
