- Renamed Transformation::evaluate to Transformation::transform to avoid
confusion with Action's overload methods.
- Updated Transformation::transform signature to receive the value by
reference and perform the transformation inline, if possible.
- Some transformations still need to use a temporary std::string to
perform their work, and then copy the result back.
- Made Transformation::transform methods const and updated Transaction
parameter to be const.
- Transaction parameter could not be removed because it's used by just
a single transformation, UrlDecodeUni.
- Removed std::string Action::evaluate(const std::string &exp,
Transaction *transaction); which was only implemented by
Transformation but was not used from the base class, but only after
downcasting to Transformation, so it can just be declared there (and
not pollute other actions with a default member implementation -that
does nothing- which is never called).
- This is controlled by specifying the 'mtstress' argument when running
`unit_test`.
- The goal is to detect if the operator/transformation fails in this
context.
- In this mode, the test will be executed 5'000 times in 50 threads
concurrently.
- Allocation & initialization of the operator/transformation is
performed once in the main thread, while the evaluation is executed in
the threads.
- This is consistent with the library's support for multithreading,
where initialization and loading of rules is expected to run once.

This commit fixes quite a few odd things in regex code:
* Lack of encapsulation.
* Non-method functions for matching without retrieving all groups.
* Regex class being copyable without proper copy-constructor (potential UAF
and double free due to pointer members m_pc and m_pce).
* Redundant SMatch::m_length, which always equals to match.size() anyway.
* Weird SMatch::size_ member which is initialized only by one of the three matching
functions, and equals to the return value of that function anyways.
* Several places in code having std::string value instead of reference.
C++ regex library proven to be unusable for gcc 4.8 and earlier version, so
reimplement code using PCRE library in order to build workable version of
unit_test executable for CentOS 7, RHEL 7, Ubuntu 14 and SUSE Linux 12.
