Subject: [PATCH] mruby-regexp: add edge case tests and improve coverage

add tests for: empty pattern, nested captures, word boundary \b,
non-capturing groups (?:), sub/gsub with block, scan with captures,
split with regexp, case/when with regexp, date reformatting.

known limitation: non-greedy quantifiers (*?, +?) currently behave
as greedy. needs match priority tracking (TODO for Phase 2).
