Improve responsiveness while in 'replace-buffer-contents'

* src/editfns.c (buffer_chars_equal): Avoid calling
buf_charpos_to_bytepos when the buffer is plain-ASCII.
Suggested by Milan Stanojević <mstanojevic@janestreet.com>.
Call maybe_quit to improve responsiveness.
(Freplace_buffer_contents): Call maybe_quit.  Warn in the doc
string that the function could be slow.  (Bug#31888)
