Reduces excessive allocation of Matcher.groups array when the original Pattern 
has no groups or less than 9 groups.

Original clamping to 10 possibly due to documented behavior from javadoc: 
"In this class, \1 through \9 are always interpreted as back references, "

Only with Matcher changes RegExTest.backRefTest fails when backreferences to 
non-existing groups are present.
Added a match failure condition in Pattern that fixes failing tests.

As per existing `java.util.regex.Pattern.BackRef#match`: "// If the referenced 
group didn't match, neither can this"

A group that does not exist in the original Pattern can never match so neither 
can a backref to that group.
If the group existed in the original Pattern then it would have had space 
allocated in Matcher.groups for that group index.
So a group index outside groups array length must never match.
