libstdc++'s std::regex matcher recurses about once per matched
character, so '.*', 'a+' or '(a|b)*' on a line of a few tens of
thousands of characters (minified JS/JSON) overflowed the 8 MiB stack
and crashed the editor from the regex search prompt or regex replace.
Regex search and regex replace now run their matching on a worker
thread with a 1 GiB reserved stack (RunWithLargeStack; the caller
waits, so nothing is shared concurrently). Renderers skip regex match
highlighting on lines over 10,000 bytes. Catastrophic backtracking
(e.g. (a*)*b) is still possible: std::regex has no time limit.

- PieceTable::Insert/Delete adjust a valid line index directly (shift
later line starts, add or drop starts for inserted or deleted
newlines) instead of invalidating it, which forced a byte-by-byte
rescan of the whole buffer on the next line query. On a 38 MB,
1M-line buffer, insert + line query drops from 14.7 ms to 0.28 ms.
- The terminal and ImGui renderers fetch only the rows they draw
(Nrows + GetLineString) instead of Buffer::Rows(), which rebuilt a
string for every line of the file on the first frame after each edit.
Qt's line-count uses switch to Nrows().
ImGuiRenderer.cc was syntax-checked with g++ and clang++ against the
vendored ImGui headers; the GUI targets could not be built here (no
SDL2 or Qt6).
Audit findings P1, P2.
