sugar 447212fa65 libexpr: Replace regex engine with boost::regex
This avoids C++'s standard library regexes, which aren't the same
across platforms, and have many other issues, like using stack
so much that they stack overflow when processing a lot of data.

To avoid backwards and forward compatibility issues, regexes are
processed using a function converting libstdc++ regexes into Boost
regexes, escaping characters that Boost needs to have escaped, and
rejecting features that Boost has and libstdc++ doesn't.

Related context:

- Original failed attempt to use `boost::regex` in CppNix, failed due to
  boost icu dependency being large (disabling ICU is no longer necessary
  because linking ICU requires using a different header file,
  `boost/regex/icu.hpp`): https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3826

- An attempt to use PCRE, rejected due to providing less backwards
  compatibility with `std::regex` than `boost::regex`:
  https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7336

- Second attempt to use `boost::regex`, failed due to `}` regex failing
  to compile (dealt with by writing a wrapper that parses a regular
  expression and escapes `}` characters):
  https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7762

Closes #34. Closes #476.

# This file is a mapping of metadata for change authors, sort of like
# maintainer-list.nix in nixpkgs.
#
# It's used for crediting people accurately in release notes. The release notes
# script will link to forgejo, then to GitHub if forgejo is not present.
#
# When adding someone from outside the Lix project, you generally want to simply link their GitHub profile without adding a display name unless they are well-known in the community by that display name.
#
# See doc/manual/src/contributing/hacking.md for more documentation on this file's format and typical usage.
