Regex.newForMatchFull

Compiles pattern into a regex for use as a match regex with vte.terminal.Terminal.matchAddRegex or vte.terminal.Terminal.eventCheckRegexSimple.

See man:pcre2pattern(3) for information about the supported regex language, and man:pcre2api(3) for information about the supported flags and extra_flags.

The regex will be compiled using <literal>PCRE2_UTF</literal> and possibly other flags, in addition to the flags supplied in flags.

If regex compilation fails, error will be set and error_offset point to error as an offset into pattern.
