DRILL-4573: Zero copy LIKE, REGEXP_MATCHES, SUBSTR
All the functions using the java.util.regex.Matcher are currently creating
Java string objects to pass into the matcher.reset().
However this creates unnecessary copy of the bytes and a Java string object.
The matcher uses a CharSequence, so instead of making a copy we can create
an adapter from the DrillBuffer to the CharSequence interface.
Gains of 25% in execution speed are possible when going over VARCHAR of 36
chars. The gain will be proportional to the size of the VARCHAR.
