[TRAFODION-2353] support of the regexp operator This is a required feature to support basic Regular Expression in Trafodion. This work is following the design at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TRAFODION/Example+Enhancement%3A+Add+a+New+Built-in+Function The difference is in this version, I didn't use Google's RE2, but use GNU LibC's POSIX Regexp modules. The benefit is GUN libc is already installed and it is very common, so no need to introduce a new dependency. GNU regexp follows the POSIX regular expression, although others add more features on POSIX, but this already support all basic regular expression syntax. If there are strong requirement to support more Regular Expression syntax that GNU cannot support, we can enhance it later.
