-----------
regexec.c - avoid calling regrepeat when the max is 0
When we have a max quantifier of 0, then the quantified
item is essentially a NOTHING reop. Regardless, we do not
need to call regrepeat, and doing so confuses some of the
logic it contains. Simply avoiding calling regrepeat()
fixes the underlying issue, and avoids the broken code.
This fixes GH Issue #20690.
