128f5d4bc6 Update regex literal lexing and emission
Update the lexing implementation to defer to the
regex library, which will pass back the pointer
from to resume lexing, and update the emission to
call the new `Regex(_regexString:version:)`
overload, that will accept the regex string with
delimiters.

Because this uses the library's lexing
implementation, the delimiters are now `'/.../'`
and `'|...|'` instead of plain `'...'`.

05363cd55a Regex literal runtime plumbing.
- Frontend: Implicitly import `_StringProcessing` when frontend flag `-enable-experimental-string-processing` is set.
- Type checker: Set a regex literal expression's type as `_StringProcessing.Regex<(Substring, DynamicCaptures)>`. `(Substring, DynamicCaptures)` is a temporary `Match` type that will help get us to an end-to-end working system. This will be replaced by actual type inference based a regex's pattern in a follow-up patch (soon).
- SILGen: Lower a regex literal expression to a call to `_StringProcessing.Regex.init(_regexString:)`.
- String processing runtime: Add `Regex`, `DynamicCaptures` (matching actual APIs in apple/swift-experimental-string-processing), and `Regex(_regexString:)`.

Upcoming:
- Build `_MatchingEngine` and `_StringProcessing` modules with sources from apple/swift-experimental-string-processing.
- Replace `DynamicCaptures` with inferred capture types.
