Golang proposal: {strings,bytes}: add ReplaceOnce

Proposal Details

as there many usage of Replace(old, new, 1). I Proposal to add ReplaceOnce to strings and bytes package. Like wise ReplaceAll.

func ReplaceOnce(s, old, new string) string {
    return Replace(s, old, new, 1)
}

func ReplaceOnce(s, old, new []byte) []byte {
    return Replace(s, old, new, 1)
}

Many does not quite rise to the level of majority ~65% https://github.com/golang/go/issues/27864#issuecomment-424852672 when ReplaceAll was added. plus once we add a function, some other value will take over the top as spot.

Once is also longer than , 1, and arguably generates confusion about why it exists. All at least reduces confusion about negative numbers.
