matcher: use re2 bindings if available

There are two sets of Python re2 bindings available on the internet;
this code works with both.

Using re2 can greatly improve "hg status" performance when a .hgignore
file becomes even modestly complex.

Example: "hg status" on a clean tree with 134K files, where "hg
debugignore" reports a regexp 4256 bytes in size.

  no .hgignore: 1.76 sec
  Python re:    2.79
  re2:          1.82

The overhead of regexp matching drops from 1.03 seconds with stock
re to 0.06 with re2.

(For comparison, a git repo with the same contents and .gitignore
file runs "git status -s" in 1.71 seconds, i.e. only slightly faster
than hg with re2.)

  $ rm -rf a
  $ hg init a
  $ cd a
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Am0
  adding a
  $ hg tag t1 # 1
  $ hg tag --remove t1 # 2

  $ hg co 1
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg tag -f -r0 t1
  $ hg tags
  tip                                3:a49829c4fc11
  t1                                 0:f7b1eb17ad24

  $ cd ..
