Without this, a number of expressions fail (returning NULL),
leading to both non matches and warning/error:

Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed: number too big in {} quantifier at offset 6

This is specially noticeable under PHP 7.3, where the new PCRE2 engine
is more picky and has more features, but also may help some cases with
previous PHP versions, depending of the string being searched/replaced

Here there is a simple script showing the error and the fix applied, for better understanding:

This applies instaclick#91
(basic php73 compatibility)

It seems that instaclick/php-webdriver#91
is being ignored (in fact the repository itself doesn't show much
activity). So we have decided to fork it and apply any fix able
to keep our (non-marionette) runs working.

Hopefully, soon, the new W3C drivers will be supported by our
behat->mink stack... and we'll be able to move to it (from current
JSonwire drivers). So all this will be hostory.
