shlwapi: optimise path functions

Using my new profiling stuff, I've eliminated one of the performance problems
in IDA.
It turned out the functions in shlwapi/path.c call CharNextA()/CharNextW() to
advance characters in strings.. Although these calls are not individually
that slow, the number of times they're used when opening the file dialog
causes a massive delay (IDA supplies quite a large filter string to select
files in the file dialogue, and iterating over the characters in this many
times is what causes the problem).
I've replaced the calls to CharNextA()/CharNextW() with array increments and a
local static function. This knocks 3.5 seconds off the file open dialogue in
IDA.
BTW: I'll submit a patch with the profiling stuff tomorrow after I've finished
cleaning it up.
