`regexp-replaces'

While scanning code for a minor incompatible in a commit, I ran into
this function which is the ffi collection of all places.  (See the
docs for what it does.)  Given that this comes up often, maybe it's
time to add this to `racket/string'?

(Or maybe `racket/private/string' next to the other regexp functions?)

I also use such a function from time to time, and I'd be happy to have it in the string or regexp libs.

I'll assume that without other replies, there are no objections to
adding it?

Also, at least as a start, I'm thinking of a function that looks just
like the one from the ffi:

  (regexp-replaces str (list (list regexp replacement)
                             ...))

Anything else that this should do?

Maybe we could consider dictionaries for the replacement lists?
