[PATCH v2 00/12] regex patches

This started as a rather simple patch, 1/12, adding the ability to
more conveniently do regex matching in shell.

But with that, it became very easy to see what the slre library can
and especially what it cannot do, and that way I found both outright
bugs and a "wow, doesn't it support that syntax" gotcha. I couldn't
find any tests ('git grep slre -- test/' was empty), so I added a
small test suite and tweaked slre.c.

v2:

- Patch 12/12 was sent separately previously; now it's properly
  included here with Quentin's suggestions folded in.

- Patches 1-11 are unchanged from v1, other than including Simon's and
  Tom's R-bs.
