Today split_string_into_pair() will not really do what its name is
suggesting: instead of splitting a string into a pair of strings using
a delimiter, it will return the first two strings of the initial string
by using the delimiter.

This is never what the callers want, so modify split_string_into_pair()
to split the string only at the first delimiter found, resulting in
something like "x=a=b" to be split into "x" and "a=b" when being called
with "=" as the delimiter. Today the returned strings would be "x" and
"a".

At the same time switch the delimiter from "const char *" (allowing
multiple delimiter characters) to "char" (a single character only), as
this makes the function more simple without breaking any use cases.
