match: let regex match function return a boolean

Match function for regex pattern kind is built through
_buildregexmatch() and _buildmatch() using _rematcher() that returns a
re.match function, which either returns a match object or None. This
does not conform to Mercurial's matcher interface for __call__() or
exact(), which are expected to return a boolean value. We fix this by
building a lambda around _rematcher() in _buildregexmatch().

Accordingly, we update doctest examples to remove bool() calls that are
now useless.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
