This PR fixes the behaviour of the
-poption when it is used with regular expressions. The-poption has also the effect of restricting the programming environments to run with. Although this still works fine in old-style cases, e.g.,-p PrgEnv-gnu, it fails to do so when passing regular expressions, for example,-p PrgEnv-(gnu|pgi). Although this will select all the tests that support eitherPrgEnv-gnuorPrgEnv-pgi, it will not run them. This PR fixes this.
