[Feature request]Regular expression search

[wenbopeng]

Using a regular expression literal, which consists of a pattern enclosed between slashes, as follows:
/[a-z]{3}/

Added a regex_search command in d0af36c. Note that this functionality is disabled by default (because it increases memory usage a little bit). You need to enable it by adding the following to your prefs_user.config (requires a document reload to take effect):

super_fast_search 1

In addition to enabling regular expressions, this also considerably increases normal search speed. For example here we find all 73531 instances of lower case or upper case 'a' in a 730-page document almost instantly.
