> 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.
