Implement regexp_match(), a simplified alternative to regexp_matches().
regexp_match() is like regexp_matches(), but it disallows the 'g' flag
and in consequence does not need to return a set. Instead, it returns
a simple text array value, or NULL if there's no match. Previously people
usually got that behavior with a sub-select, but this way is considerably
more efficient.
Documentation adjusted so that regexp_match() is presented first and then
regexp_matches() is introduced as a more complicated version. This is
a bit historically revisionist but seems pedagogically better.
Still TODO: extend contrib/citext to support this function.
