[regexp] Allow named captures and back-references in non-unicode patterns

Previously, named captures (and related functionality) were restricted to
unicode-mode regexps.

This CL extends that support to non-unicode patterns. Named groups are
supported regardless of the mode, and named back-references are supported if
the regexp is in unicode mode or if it contains a named capture (otherwise '\k'
is treated as an identity escape).
