Use libregexp from quickjs-ng

[kmarius]

The original QuickJS ~appears to be dormant~ (see below), but developement has been picked up here: https://github.com/quickjs-ng/quickjs There are several fixes to libregexp already, should keep an eye out on that.

Update: QuickJS is still getting releases here: https://bellard.org/quickjs/, unless there's a good reason to change, we will just keep using QuickJS.

Wouldn't it be possible to talk QuickJS maintainers to separate libregexp into separate repo and use it then as a git submodule?

I'm not sure it is possible, it would definitely complicate building with luarocks. In any case, I don't think it is worth the effort.

That being said, I just saw that quickjs did have a release last month.
