Miscellaneous cleanup of regular-expression compiler.

Revert our previous addition of "all" flags to copyins() and copyouts();
they're no longer needed, and were never anything but an unsightly hack.

Improve a couple of infelicities in the REG_DEBUG code for dumping
the NFA data structure, including adding code to count the total
number of states and arcs.

Add a couple of missed error checks.

Add some more documentation in the README file, and some regression tests
illustrating cases that exceeded the state-count limit and/or took
unreasonable amounts of time before this set of patches.

Back-patch to all supported branches.
