(update_search_regs): Install better fix for bug#67124

The recent fix for the bug in `replace-match-maybe-edit`
was basically a refinement of a previously installed workaround,
whereas the bug was really in `update_search_regs`.

* src/search.c (update_search_regs): Improve handling of `start` positions.
* lisp/replace.el (replace-match-maybe-edit): Remove workaround.
* test/src/search-tests.el (search-test--replace-match-update-data): New test.
