regex: use regexec_buf()

Browse Source 
The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.

We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).

Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings,
or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling
regexec(3).  By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has
become much cleaner.
