[regexp] Support more quantifiers in experimental engine
Previously to this commit only quantifiers of the form /<x>*/, i.e. arbitrarily often greedy repetition, were implemented. Now a much larger class is supported, e.g. + and ? and their non-greedy variants. Because it came up repeatedly during the implementation, the commit also adds the Label and DeferredLabel classes to patch JMP and FORK target addresses more easily. Still not supported are the following quantifiers: - Possessive quantifiers, where I'm not entirely sure whether they could be implemented in principle. Re2 doesn't support them. - Quantifiers with large but finite numbers for min and max numbers of repetitions, as in e.g. /<x>{9000, 90000}/. These are currently limited to some small value. This is because the body of such repetitions is unrolled explicitly, so the size of the bytecode is linear in the number of repetitions.
