Bytecodes used by the regular expression interpreter often occur in
specific sequences. The number of dispatches in the interpreter can be
reduced if those sequences are combined into a single bytecode.
This CL adds a peephole optimization pass for regexp bytecodes.
This pass checks the generated bytecode for pre-defined sequences that
can be merged into a single bytecode.
With the currently implemented bytecode sequences a speedup of 1.12x on
regex-dna and octane-regexp is achieved.
