Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 78d761addf mruby-regexp: implement extended mode (x flag)
The x flag ignores unescaped whitespace and #comments in patterns,
making complex regexps more readable. Whitespace inside character
classes [...] remains literal. Implemented as a preprocessing step
that strips whitespace/comments before compilation.

Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 3c68e49178 mruby-regexp: add lookahead assertions (?=...) and (?!...)
implement positive and negative lookahead in the backtracking engine:
- (?=pattern): succeeds if pattern matches at current position
  without consuming characters
- (?!pattern): succeeds if pattern does NOT match at current position

new bytecodes RE_LOOKAHEAD and RE_NEG_LOOKAHEAD implemented in
the backtracking engine via nested bt_match calls.

Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 7283560215 mruby-regexp: add named captures (?<name>...)
support named capture groups in patterns:
- compiler parses (?<name>...) syntax and builds name table
- MatchData#[:name] and MatchData#["name"] access by name
- MatchData#named_captures returns {name => value} hash
- Regexp#named_captures returns {name => group_number} hash
- named captures stored in mrb_regexp_pattern for GC safety

Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 8d92379d7c mruby-regexp: fix non-greedy quantifiers (*?, +?, ??)
non-greedy patterns now correctly match the shortest possible
string. patterns with non-greedy quantifiers are dispatched to
the backtracking engine which naturally handles non-greedy
semantics.

the Pike VM continues to be used for purely greedy patterns
(O(n*m) guarantee).

Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 1cfa153ff3 mruby-regexp: add built-in regexp engine with Pike VM
implement a lightweight NFA-based regular expression engine for mruby:

engine (src/re_compile.c, src/re_exec.c, src/re_utf8.c):
- Pike VM (Thompson NFA simulation) with O(n*m) time guarantee
- ReDoS-resistant by design (no backtracking for basic patterns)
- supports: literals, ., *, +, ?, {n,m}, [], [^], |, ()
- character classes: \d, \w, \s and negations
- anchors: ^, $, \A, \z, \Z, \b, \B
- flags: i (ignorecase), m (multiline/dotall)
- captures with MatchData

Ruby API (src/regexp.c, mrblib/string_regexp.rb):
- Regexp.new, #match, #match?, #=~, #===, #source, #inspect
- Regexp.escape, Regexp::IGNORECASE/MULTILINE constants
- MatchData#[], #captures, #to_a, #begin, #end, #pre_match, #post_match
- String#match, #match?, #=~, #sub, #gsub, #scan, #split

~1700 lines of C + ~120 lines of Ruby. no external dependencies.
