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).
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.
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.
Limit the maximum capturing group to 2**30-1 on 64-bit platforms
(it was 2**31-1). No change on 32-bit platforms (2**28-1).
It allows to reduce the size of SRE(match_context):
- On 32 bit platform: 36 bytes, no change. (msvc2022)
- On 64 bit platform: 72 bytes -> 56 bytes. (msvc2022/gcc9.4)
which leads to increasing the depth of backtracking.
