Add ANYOFR regnode
This matches a single range of code points. It is both faster and smaller than other ANYOF-type nodes, requiring, after set-up, a single subtraction and conditional branch. The vast majority of Unicode properties match a single range (though most of the properties likely to be used in real world applications have more than a single range). But things like [ij] are a single range, and those are quite commonly encountered. This new regnode matches them more efficiently than a bitmap would, and doesn't require the space for one either. The flags field is used to store the minimum matchable start byte for UTF-8 strings, and is ignored for non-UTF-8 targets. This, like ANYOFH nodes which have a similar mechanism, allows for quick weeding out of many possible matches without having to convert the UTF-8 to its corresponding code point. This regnode packs the 32 bit argument with 20 bits for the minimum code point the node matches, and 12 bits for the maximum range. If the input is a value outside these, it simply won't compile to this regnode, instead going to one of the ANYOFH flavors. ANYOFR is sufficient to match all of Unicode except for the final (private use) 65K plane.
