The regexp code assumes it can recurse over the structure of
a regexp safely. Go's growable stacks make that reasonable
for all plausible regexps, but implausible ones can reach the
“infinite recursion?” stack limit.

This CL limits the depth of any parsed regexp to 1000.
That is, the depth of the parse tree is required to be ≤ 1000.
Regexps that require deeper parse trees will return ErrInternalError.
A future CL will change the error to ErrInvalidDepth,
but using ErrInternalError for now avoids introducing new API
in point releases when this is backported.

Fixes #51112.

<title>regexp: document and implement that invalid UTF-8 bytes are the same as U+FFFD</title>

<content type='text'>
What should it mean to run a regexp match on invalid UTF-8 bytes?
The coherent behavior options are:

1. Invalid UTF-8 does not match any character classes,
   nor a U+FFFD literal (nor \x{fffd}).
2. Each byte of invalid UTF-8 is treated identically to a U+FFFD in the input,
   as a utf8.DecodeRune loop might.

RE2 uses Rule 1.
Because it works byte at a time, it can also provide \C to match any
single byte of input, which matches invalid UTF-8 as well.
This provides the nice property that a match for a regexp without \C
is guaranteed to be valid UTF-8.

Unfortunately, today Go has an incoherent mix of these two, although
mostly Rule 2. This is a deviation from RE2, and it gives up the nice
property, but we probably can't correct that at this point.
In particular .* already matches entire inputs today, valid UTF-8 or
not, and I doubt we can break that.

This CL adopts Rule 2 officially, fixing the few places that deviate from it.

Fixes #48749.

<title>regexp: fix repeat of preferred empty match</title>

<id>2a61b3c59088115245d084d5ae07dd4be5fbe1b0</id>
<content type='text'>
In Perl mode, (|a)* should match an empty string at the start of the
input. Instead it matches as many a's as possible.
Because (|a)+ is handled correctly, matching only an empty string,
this leads to the paradox that e* can match more text than e+
(for e = (|a)) and that e+ is sometimes different from ee*.

This is a very old bug that ultimately derives from the picture I drew
for e* in https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html. The picture is
correct for longest-match (POSIX) regexps but subtly wrong for
preferred-match (Perl) regexps in the case where e has a preferred
empty match. Pointed out by Andrew Gallant in private mail.

The current code treats e* and e+ as the same structure, with
different entry points. In the case of e* the preference list ends up
not quite in the right order, in part because the “before e” and
“after e” states are the same state. Splitting them apart fixes the
preference list, and that can be done by compiling e* as if it were
(e+)?.

Like with any bug fix, there is a very low chance of breaking a
program that accidentally depends on the buggy behavior.

RE2, Go, and Rust all have this bug, and we've all agreed to fix it,
to keep the implementations in sync.

Fixes #46123.

In Perl mode, (|a)* should match an empty string at the start of the
input. Instead it matches as many a's as possible.
Because (|a)+ is handled correctly, matching only an empty string,
this leads to the paradox that e* can match more text than e+
(for e = (|a)) and that e+ is sometimes different from ee*.

This is a very old bug that ultimately derives from the picture I drew
for e* in https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html. The picture is
correct for longest-match (POSIX) regexps but subtly wrong for
preferred-match (Perl) regexps in the case where e has a preferred
empty match. Pointed out by Andrew Gallant in private mail.

The current code treats e* and e+ as the same structure, with
different entry points. In the case of e* the preference list ends up
not quite in the right order, in part because the “before e” and
“after e” states are the same state. Splitting them apart fixes the
preference list, and that can be done by compiling e* as if it were
(e+)?.

Like with any bug fix, there is a very low chance of breaking a
program that accidentally depends on the buggy behavior.

RE2, Go, and Rust all have this bug, and we've all agreed to fix it,
to keep the implementations in sync.

Fixes #46123.
