Speed up is_serialized_string()

Description

is_serialized_string() uses an expensive regular expression. It should use substring peeking like is_serialized() does. In my tests, this offers a time reduction of about 26%.

Edit: Oops, Ignore What I've said...

the last elseif can be changed to

elseif ( '"' !== $data[4] || '"' !== $data[$length-2] )
    return false;

When I reviewed the changeset this is what came into my mind. I have not benchmarked so far if it's actually faster than the if / else approach.

A note of caution: is_serialized_string() will return true for cases is_serialized() will return false. So both functions are not compatible with each other.
