Tom Lane 08c0d6ad65 Invent "rainbow" arcs within the regex engine.
Some regular expression constructs, most notably the "." match-anything
metacharacter, produce a sheaf of parallel NFA arcs covering all
possible colors (that is, character equivalence classes).  We can make
a noticeable improvement in the space and time needed to process large
regexes by replacing such cases with a single arc bearing the special
color code "RAINBOW".  This requires only minor additional complication
in places such as pull() and push().

Callers of pg_reg_getoutarcs() must now be prepared for the possibility
of seeing a RAINBOW arc.  For the one known user, contrib/pg_trgm,
that's a net benefit since it cuts the number of arcs to be dealt with,
and the handling isn't any different than for other colors that contain
too many characters to be dealt with individually.

This is part of a patch series that in total reduces the regex engine's
runtime by about a factor of four on a large corpus of real-world regexes.

Patch by me, reviewed by Joel Jacobson

*
* regexport.c
* Functions for exporting info about a regex's NFA
*
* In this implementation, the NFA defines a necessary but not sufficient
* condition for a string to match the regex: that is, there can be strings
* that match the NFA but don't match the full regex, but not vice versa.
* Thus, for example, it is okay for the functions below to treat lookaround
* constraints as no-ops, since they merely constrain the string some more.
*
* Notice that these functions return info into caller-provided arrays
* rather than doing their own malloc's. This simplifies the APIs by
* eliminating a class of error conditions, and in the case of colors
* allows the caller to decide how big is too big to bother with.
