AK: Split up CircularBuffer::find_copy_in_seekback

The "operation modes" of this function have very different focuses, and
trying to combine both in a way where we share the most amount of code
probably results in the worst performance.

Instead, split up the function into "existing distances" and "no
existing distances" so that we can optimize either case separately.
