Anand Krishnamoorthi 87f22a79ca fix: harden regex builtins with compiled-size limit (#705)
Add a 100KB cap on compiled regex NFA size via RegexBuilder::size_limit()
to block patterns that blow up in memory or CPU. Regex compilation now
goes through a single helper (compile_regex_for_builtin) so the limit
is enforced consistently across all regex builtins.

While doing this, found and fixed a pre-existing bug: resource-limit
errors (time, memory, instruction count) raised inside builtins were
quietly swallowed to Undefined when strict_builtin_errors was off
(the default). This is a problem because `not regex.match(...)` would
see Undefined and flip to true -- silently wrong. The same issue now
applies to the new regex size limit.

Fixed by teaching the three error-absorption paths (interpreter builtin
call, RVM builtin dispatch, and RVM rule-execution loop) to recognize
LimitError and let it propagate instead of eating it.
