Portability: std::string:npos is not always appropriate for String::npos

On some systems such as Windows MinGW the signed/unsigned property of
std::string::npos does not match up with the Squdi String class size_type
signed/unsigned property. Resulting in compiler signed vs unsigned
mismatch errors when compiling.

  This is an iCelero project.
