  Description     : Faster version of the Go regexp package

Fork of the upstream Go regexp package, with some code optimisations to
make it run faster.
.
All semantics are the same, and the optimised code passes all tests from
upstream.

This package is a required build-dep of Prometheus. Whilst patching
Prometheus to use the original Go standard library regexp package is
fairly trivial, the grafana/regexp package is used extensively
throughout Prometheus, and likely has performance advantages.

I will co-maintain this package as a member of the Debian Go Packaging
Team.
