Merge branch 'js/regexec-buf' into maint

Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
beyond the end of the mapped region.  This was fixed by introducing
a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
extension.

* js/regexec-buf:
  regex: use regexec_buf()
  regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a non NUL-terminated string
  regex: -G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails
