Bug description:
[Impact]
Under certain conditions, lpeg will crash while walking the pattern
tree looking for TCapture nodes.
[Test Case]
The reproducer, taken from an upstream discussion (link in "Other
info"), is:
$ cat repro.lua
#!/usr/bin/env lua
lpeg = require "lpeg"
p = lpeg.C(-lpeg.P{lpeg.P'x' * lpeg.V(1) + lpeg.P'y'})
p:match("xx")
The program crashes due to a hascaptures() infinite recursion:
$ ./repro.lua
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
(gdb) bt -25

The expected behavior is to have the program finish normally
[Regression potential]
Low, this is a backport from upstream and only limits the infinite recursion
in a scenario where it shouldn't happen to begin with (TCapture node search).
[Other info]
This was fixed upstream in 1.0.1 by stopping the recursion in TCall
nodes and controlling that TRule nodes do not follow siblings (sib2)
