Subject: [perl #58182] partial: Add uni \s,\w matching

This commit causes regex sequences \b, \s, and \w (and complements) to
match in the latin1 range in the scope of feature 'unicode_strings' or
with the /u regex modifier.

It uses the previously unused flags field in the respective regnodes to
indicate the type of matching, and in regexec.c, uses that to decide
which of the handy.h macros to use, native or Latin1.

I chose this for now rather than create new nodes for each type of
match.  An earlier version of this patch did that, and in every case the
switch case: statements were adjacent, offering no performance
advantage.  If regexec were modified to use in-line functions or more
macros for various short section of it, then it would be faster to have
new nodes rather than using the flags field.  But, using that field
simplified things, as this change flies under the radar in a number of
places where it would not if separate nodes were used.

This patch is mainly for performance, but in eliminating a pass which
modified the tables, it allows for later changes to not have to rely on
things happening in a certain order.

Previously, tables that had special ranges in them, such as mappings to
multiple characters and character names that are algorithmically
derivable had a separate pass to process those ranges ahead of the main
table, as the information about these is output at the beginning of the
file.

What this patch does is to add a call-back for the processing of
the main body to call when it finds a special range that it doesn't
handle.  That call-back just adds the information to various
temporaries, depending on what the range is.

After the processing of all the ranges, those temporaries hold all the
information needed to output the specials data.  This is processed and
the text is unshifted to the beginning of the output.

pre_body() used to process all this.  But it has been split up.  The
code that does need to go at the beginning is moved to the write()
routine for the sub-class, which processes it before calling the super
class's write.  The code that figured out about the special ranges is
moved to the new call-back handle_special_range().  The remaining code
remains in pre_body(), but it is now called later in the process.
