  [YARR] Fix infinite loop in JIT for non-greedy backreference to zero-width 
capture
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307415

Reviewed by Yusuke Suzuki.

A non-greedy backreference like \1*? can loop forever in the JIT when
the referenced capture is undefined or empty. Each match succeeds
without consuming input, but the backtrack code keeps retrying.

Add a zero-width progress check to backtrackBackReference NonGreedy,
similar to existing guards in ParenthesesSubpatternEnd

Test: JSTests/stress/regexp-nongreedy-backref-zero-width.js

* JSTests/stress/regexp-nongreedy-backref-zero-width.js: Added.
(shouldBe):
* Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/YarrJIT.cpp:
