- PCRE2: compile with the ANYCRLF newline convention and DOLLAR_ENDONLY,
as ECMAScript reads '.' and '$'. With PCRE2's default (LF only) '.'
matched the CR of a CRLF line, so regex replace-all deleted CRs.
- Replacement $0 is the whole match, two digits are read greedily and a
group the pattern lacks expands to nothing, as std::regex_replace
(libstdc++) does; these cases are now compared in the tests.
- Plain search visits overlapping matches going forward too, and counts
them, as the backward search found them ('aa' in 'aaa' read 2/1).
- The recovery prompt's replayed content is used on 'y' only if the
journal is unchanged since; otherwise it is replayed again.
- A version 1 journal continued after recovery is rewritten as a
compacted version 2 journal when it needs a chunked checkpoint,
instead of receiving records an older kte would skip. (The version is
read through a separate descriptor: the journal fd is write-only.)

RegexEngine.h/.cc wrap the regex engine for search, regex replace-all and
the terminal and ImGui renderers' match highlighting:
- With KTE_USE_PCRE2 (default ON; used when pkg-config finds libpcre2-8,
linked as -lpcre2-8) patterns are compiled by PCRE2 with its JIT and
matched under a match limit: catastrophic backtracking stops with a
status note instead of hanging the editor, and matching does not
recurse on the C stack (no large-stack thread; the per-keystroke and
per-frame line limit is 1 MiB instead of 2,000 bytes). Otherwise
std::regex is used as before.
- Replacement strings follow std::regex_replace (ECMAScript as libstdc++
reads it) with either engine: the PCRE2 path expands $&, $n, $`, $',
$$ itself and steps over empty matches the same way.
- Regex search walks lines over the materialized text instead of calling
GetLineView per row. The terminal renderer compiles the pattern once
per frame (it compiled it for every row).
- Only one checkpoint per journal is queued at a time: whole-file edits
in a row on a large buffer each queued a full copy of the buffer.
- default.nix and the Dockerfile add pcre2 and pkg-config.
On 26 MB: regex keystroke 1.6 -> 0.14 ms, next 62 -> 6 ms, replace-all
929 -> 438 ms; a rarely matching regex over 105 MB: 1.55 s -> 0.10 s.
