Make pg_regexec() robust against out-of-range search_start.
If search_start is greater than the length of the string, we should just
return REG_NOMATCH immediately. (Note that the equality case should
*not* be rejected, since the pattern might be able to match zero
characters.) This guards various internal assumptions that the min of a
range of string positions is not more than the max. Violation of those
assumptions could allow an attempt to fetch string[search_start-1],
possibly causing a crash.
Jaime Casanova pointed out that this situation is reachable with the
new regexp_xxx functions that accept a user-specified start position.
I don't believe it's reachable via any in-core call site in v14 and
below. However, extensions could possibly call pg_regexec with an
out-of-range search_start, so let's back-patch the fix anyway.
