replacing: stash the string to be replaced while asking for replacement

During the Replace-With prompt the user could search in its help text,
which would overwite the 'last_search' string.  Make therefore sure that
the latter gets restored to what it was before the Replace-With prompt.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65381.

Bug existed since version 2.8.2,
since searching in a help text became possible.
