Claude 6bc3a6e0af Share search-match highlighting across renderers; engine owns its stack policy
SearchHighlight compiles the search pattern once per frame and yields each
line's match ranges; the terminal, ImGui and Qt renderers had three copies
of this, and Qt compiled a std::regex for every visible line on every
frame. Qt now uses kte::Regex like the others.

kte::Regex::RunGuarded replaces Command.cc's run_regex_work, which chose
the large stack by comparing engine names. ForEachRegexMatch had no
callers left and is removed.

// RegexGuard.h - keep std::regex from overflowing the stack
//
// libstdc++'s std::regex matcher recurses roughly once per character of a
// match, so a pattern such as ".*" or "a+" on a line of a few tens of
// thousands of characters (minified JS/JSON) overflows a default 8 MiB
// stack and crashes the editor.
