Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 101f8c69a1 mruby-regexp: implement fixed-length lookbehind assertions
Add (?<=...) positive and (?<!...) negative lookbehind support.
The sub-pattern must have a fixed byte length (no quantifiers or
alternation), computed at compile time and stored in the instruction.
At execution time, the engine backs up by that many bytes and runs
the sub-pattern forward. Maximum lookbehind length is 255 bytes.

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.
