MEDIUM: samples: add a regsub converter to perform regex-based transformations
We can now replace matching regex parts with a string, a la sed. Note
that there are at least 3 different behaviours for existing sed
implementations when matching 0-length strings. Here is the result
of the following operation on each implementationt tested :
echo 'xzxyz' | sed -e 's/x*y*/A/g'
GNU sed 4.2.1 => AzAzA
Perl's sed 5.16.1 => AAzAAzA
Busybox v1.11.2 sed => AzAz
The psed behaviour was adopted because it causes the least exceptions
in the code and seems logical from a certain perspective :
- "x" matches x*y* => add "A" and skip "x"
- "z" matches x*y* => add "A" and keep "z", not part of the match
- "xy" matches x*y* => add "A" and skip "xy"
- "z" matches x*y* => add "A" and keep "z", not part of the match
- "" matches x*y* => add "A" and stop here
Anyway, given the incompatibilities between implementations, it's unlikely
that some processing will rely on this behaviour.
There currently is one big limitation : the configuration parser makes it
impossible to pass commas or closing parenthesis (or even closing brackets
in log formats). But that's still quite usable to replace certain characters
or character sequences. It will become more complete once the config parser
is reworked.

+regsub(<regex>,<subst>[,<flags>)
+ Applies a regex-based substitution to the input string. It does the same
+ operation as the well-known "sed" utility with "s/<regex>/<subst>/". By
+ default it will replace in the input string the first occurrence of the
+ largest part matching the regular expression <regex> with the substitution
+ string <subst>. It is possible to replace all occurrences instead by adding
+ the flag "g" in the third argument <flags>. It is also possible to make the
+ regex case insensitive by adding the flag "i" in <flags>. Since <flags> is a
+ string, it is made up from the concatenation of all desired flags. Thus if
+ both "i" and "g" are desired, using "gi" or "ig" will have the same effect.
+ It is important to note that due to the current limitations of the
+ configuration parser, some characters such as closing parenthesis or comma
+ are not possible to use in the arguments. The first use of this converter is
+ to replace certain characters or sequence of characters with other ones.
+
+ Example :
+
+ # de-duplicate "/" in header "x-path".
+ # input: x-path: /////a///b/c/xzxyz/
+ # output: x-path: /a/b/c/xzxyz/
+ http-request set-header x-path %[hdr(x-path),regsub(/+,/,g)]
+
sdbm([<avalanche>])
Hashes a binary input sample into an unsigned 32-bit quantity using the SDBM
hash function. Optionally, it is possible to apply a full avalanche hash
