eliminate PL_reg_start_tmp, PL_reg_start_tmpl

PL_reg_start_tmp is a global array of temporary parentheses start
positions. An element is set when a '(' is first encountered,
while when a ')' is seen, the per-regex offs array is updated with the
start and end position: the end derived from the position where the ')'
was encountered, and the start position derived from PL_reg_start_tmp[n].
This allows us to differentiate between pending and fully-processed
captures.

Change it so that the tmp start value becomes a third field in the offs
array (.start_tmp), along with the existing .start and .end fields. This
makes the value now per regex rather than global. Although it uses a bit
more memory (the start_tmp values aren't needed after the match has
completed), it simplifies the code, and will make it easier to make a
(??{}) switch to the new regex without having to dump everything on the
save stack.
