This patch implements ES2015 RegExp subclassing semantics, namely the hardest part where RegExp.prototype.exec and certain flag getters can be overridden in order to provide different behavior. This change is hidden behind a new flag, --harmony-regexp-exec. The flag guards the behavior by installing entirely different implementations of the methods which follow the new semantics. Preliminary performance tests show a 3-4x regression in the Octane RegExp benchmark. The new code doesn't call out into several fast paths that the old code supported, so this is expected. The patch is tested mostly by test262, where most RegExp tests are fixed, with the exception of deliberate spec violations for web compatibility, and for the 'sticky' flag, which is not dynamically read by this patch in all cases but rather statically compiled into the RegExp. The latter will require a follow-on patch to implement. A small additional set of tests verifies one particular case, mostly to check whether the flag mechanism works.
