As a result, changed `ui.find.lua` to `ui.find.regex` Also removed luautf8 dependency since it is no longer needed. Regex replacements cannot contain embedded Lua code. Jumping to "find in files" results selects those results instead of just jumping to their respective lines.

The find & replace pane and UI dialogs can now handle UTF-8 characters. The support is functional, but not perfect. Since the patch only targets the widgets Textadept uses, it cannot be submitted to upstream CDK for inclusion. It's kind of a hack anyway.

Requires Scinterm r118 (changeset 8a7943225c5a).
