html/template: fix quadratic performance with special tags

The current implementation of the tSpecialTagEnd function
is inefficient since it generates plenty of memory allocations
and converts the whole buffer to lowercase at each call.

If the number of special tags increases linearly with the
template size, the complexity becomes quadratic.

This CL provides an alternative implementation.
While the algorithm is probably still not optimal, it avoids
the quadratic behavior and the memory allocations.

While we are there, make sure we respect the HTML tokenization algorithm.
An end tag needs to be followed by a space, tab, CR, FF, /, or > as described
in https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#tokenization
Explicitly add this check.

Fixes #10605
