help: eliminate duplicate text for revset string patterns There's no reason to duplicate this so many times, and it's likely an instance will be missed if support for a new pattern is added and documented. The stringmatcher is mostly used by revsets, though it is also used for the 'tag' related templates, and namespace filtering in the journal extension. So maybe there's a better place to document it. `hg help patterns` seems inappropriate, because that is all file pattern matching. While here, indicate how to perform case insensitive regex searches.

revset: add regular expression support to 'desc' This is a case insensitive predicate like 'author', so it conforms to the existing behavior of performing a case insensitive regex.

revset: stop lowercasing the regex pattern for 'author' It was probably unintentional for regex, as the meaning of some sequences like \S and \s is actually inverted by changing the case. For backward compatibility however, the matching is forced to case insensitive.

repair: clean up stale lock file from store backup Since we did a directory rename on the stores, the source repository's lock path now references the dest repository's lock path and the dest repository's lock path now references a non-existent filename. So releasing the lock on the source will unlock the dest and releasing the lock on the dest will no-op because it fails due to file not found. So we clean up the dest's lock manually.
