Now re.error is raised instead of OverflowError or RuntimeError for
too large width of look-behind pattern.
The limit is increased to 2**32-1 (was 2**31-1).
Deprecate passing optional arguments maxsplit, count and flags in
module-level functions re.split(), re.sub() and re.subn() as positional.
They should only be passed by keyword.
It did not work in the case of a subpattern containing backtracking.
Temporary implement possessive quantifiers as equivalent greedy qualifiers
in atomic groups.
Functions re.sub() and re.subn() and corresponding re.Pattern methods
are now 2-3 times faster for replacement strings containing group references.

Revert "bpo-23689: re module, fix memory leak when a match is terminated by a signal or memory allocation failure (GH-32283)"
This reverts commit 6e3eee5c11.
Manual fixups to increase the MAGIC number and to handle conflicts with
a couple of changes that landed after that.
Thanks for reviews by Ma Lin and Serhiy Storchaka.
Only sequence of ASCII digits is now accepted as a numerical reference.
The group name in bytes patterns and replacement strings can now only
contain ASCII letters and digits and underscore.
Only sequence of ASCII digits will be accepted as a numerical reference.
The group name in bytes patterns and replacement strings could only
contain ASCII letters and digits and underscore.
It was initially added to support atomic groups, but that
support was never fully implemented, and CALL was only left
in the compiler, but not interpreter and parser.
ATOMIC_GROUP is now used to support atomic groups.
In expression (?(group)...) an appropriate re.error is now
raised if the group number refers to not defined group.
Previously it raised RuntimeError: invalid SRE code.
* Move the code for generating Modules/_sre/sre_constants.h from
Lib/re/_constants.py into a separate script
Tools/scripts/generate_sre_constants.py.
* Add target `regen-sre` in the makefile.
* Make target `regen-all` depending on `regen-sre`.
