* The primary purpose of pcre2_next_match() is to make it much easier for
PCRE2 clients to iterate over matches, without needing an advanced knowledge
of regular expressions.
* Secondly, we can simplify our own code by merging the three duplicate
implementations of the /g global match behaviour: pcre2demo, pcre2_substitute,
and pcre2test.
* Thirdly, as I look closely at the issue, I can improve the documentation.
* Fourthly, I would like to actually simplify the logic, removing a complex loop
which makes several match attempts, swallows duplicate matches, and more.
We can have identical behaviour with a simple retry using
PCRE2_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART.
Followup to #722
* Fix Windows build warning by adding PCRE2_STATIC to pcre2test
* Remove unnecessary `.linkLibc()` command, now that we have `link_libc = true` in the Module declarations
* Update the old `std.Build.Step.Compile.create(...)` calls to the brand-new `b.addLibrary(...)` function. They added this exactly for our use-case, to allow dynamically selecting between `addStaticLibrary/addDynamicLibrary` variants.
* Bump zig stack usage in CI
With the release of zig 0.14.0, there are some breaking changes to syntax in build.zig.
Here, we drop support for zig 0.13, and add support for 0.14. There does not seem to be any advantage to try and support both simultaneously (nor did the zig maintainers make this easy).

Add a simple hash code for group names to improve search speed.
Ignore duplicates when group names are searched.
Improve finding of duplicates (they have the same name pointer).
Improve creating name table (duplicates are handled in one step).
Create a new file for name management.
It's not ideal, but at least it's being tested. I have added support for pcre2test, so that we can run the unit tests against the library which Zig builds.
