For the general case, regex matching simply will not do. The
regex becomes so hairy so it turns write-only, i.e. unmaintainable.
Regex matching is also slower than a handwritten custom parser.
TheBoundaryMatcher is not updated as it is likely it will be removed
altogether. A regex that accepts comments in all relevant places becomes
so hairy it is unmaintainable. It seems that the only working solution
would be to first remove all comments and then perform the regex.
Transaction boundaries can now be detected using regexes.
All else being equal, it gives a 10% performance improvement
compared to qc-based detection.
In a subsequent change, mysql_client.c will be modified to use
qc_get_trx_type_mask() instead of qc_get_type_mask().
Currently the use of regex matching is turned on using an
environment variable. That will change.
