The eats_at_least (EAL) value is applied in forward-directions only.
Two reasons for that which are relevant to this CL:
- EAL's of neighboring nodes are combined additively, irrespective of
their read_backward value.
- EatsAtLeastPropagator::VisitText uses the successor's
eats_at_least_from_not_start value, which doesn't work properly for
read_backwards successors (which may end at the start).
A symptom of this bug was that we applied an incorrect EAL of 255
starting at the initial 'x' of /x(?<=^x{4})/); for subject strings
shorter than 255 chars, this would result in an incorrect failure
result.
