Timothy Flynn a0c19deb80 LibJS: Implement RegExpCreate/RegExpInitialize closer to the spec ...

RegExpInitialize specifies how the pattern string should be created
before passing it to [[RegExpMatcher]]. Rather than passing it as-is,
the string should be converted to code points and back to a "List" (if
the Unicode flag is present), or as a "List" of UTF-16 code units.
Further. the spec requires that we keep both the original pattern string
and this parsed string in the RegExp object.

The caveat is that the LibRegex parser further requires any multi-byte
code units to be escaped (as "\unnnn"). Otherwise, the code unit is
recognized as individual UTF-8 bytes.
