    org.el (org-do-emphasis-faces): Fix false positives handling

    * org.el (org-do-emphasis-faces): Handle false positives by
    restarting the re-search one char after the beginning of the
    match, not one char before its ending.

    Before this fix, consider this buffer

    ** Headline
      - *Bold* non-bold
      - *Bold* non-bold

    The first false positive is "** Headline\n  - *Bold*"

    Starting the search again from the last "*" will skip
    the "*Bold*" string.  Starting again at "* Headline" will
    find it.
