Improve AutolinkFilter#text_parse performance

By using clever XPath queries we can quite significantly improve the
performance of this method. The actual improvement depends a bit on the
amount of links used but in my tests the new implementation is usually
around 8 times faster than the old one. This was measured using the
following benchmark:

    require 'benchmark/ips'

    text = '<p>' + Note.select("string_agg(note, '') AS note").limit(50).take[:note] + '</p>'
    document = Nokogiri::HTML.fragment(text)
    filter = Banzai::Filter::AutolinkFilter.new(document, autolink: true)

    puts "Input size: #{(text.bytesize.to_f / 1024 / 1024).round(2)} MB"

    filter.rinku_parse

    Benchmark.ips(time: 15) do |bench|
      bench.report 'text_parse' do
        filter.text_parse
      end

      bench.report 'text_parse_fast' do
        filter.text_parse_fast
      end

      bench.compare!
    end

Here the "text_parse_fast" method is the new implementation and
"text_parse" the old one. The input size was around 180 MB. Running this
benchmark outputs the following:

    Input size: 181.16 MB
    Calculating -------------------------------------
              text_parse     1.000  i/100ms
         text_parse_fast     9.000  i/100ms
    -------------------------------------------------
              text_parse     13.021  (±15.4%) i/s -    188.000
         text_parse_fast    112.741  (± 3.5%) i/s -      1.692k

    Comparison:
         text_parse_fast:      112.7 i/s
              text_parse:       13.0 i/s - 8.66x slower

Again the production timings may (and most likely will) vary depending
on the input being processed.
