Grafana Go regexp package

This repo is a fork of the upstream Go regexp package, with some code optimisations to make it run faster.

All the optimisations have been submitted upstream, but not yet merged.

All semantics are the same, and the optimised code passes all tests from upstream.

The main branch is non-optimised: switch over to speedup branch for the improved code.
