Replaces all instances of a substring with a new string.
In the case of overlapping matches the leftmost instance is replaced.
If the expression is empty, it matches at the beginning of the string and
after each code point, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a string with
k code points.
For example, text.replace_all("Hello World", "Hello", "Goodbye")
returns "Goodbye World".
