Add REGEXP_COUNT function.
----
Returns the number of times {{str}} matches the {{regexp}} pattern.

Example:
{code:sql}
> SELECT REGEXP_COUNT('Steven Jones and Stephen Smith are the best players', 
> 'Ste(v|ph)en');
 2
> SELECT REGEXP_COUNT('Mary had a little lamb', 'Ste(v|ph)en');
 0
{code}

Syntax:
{code:sql}
REGEXP_COUNT(str, regexp)
{code}

Arguments:
 * {{str}}: A STRING expression to be matched.
 * {{regexp}}: A STRING expression with a matching pattern.

Returns:
An INTEGER.

{{regexp}} must be a Java regular expression.
When using literals, use `raw-literal` (`r` prefix) to avoid escape character 
pre-processing.
If either argument is {{NULL}}, the result is {{NULL}}.
