Security Patch: ReDoS in UnusedVariable

Resolves a regular expression denial of service (CWE-1333). Flow variable
names are no longer compiled into regular expressions; the rule counts
literal substrings instead, so crafted Flow metadata cannot stall a scan.

Upgrade if you scan untrusted or third-party Flow metadata.

Reported by @arpitjain099 via a GitHub security advisory. Thank you.
