Validate ascii string by ORing all bytes and check if 7-th bit is 0.
Compared with original std::any_of(), which checks ascii string byte
by byte, this new approach validates input in 8 bytes and two
independent streams. Performance is much higher for normal cases,
though slightly slower when string is very short. See table below.
