/*!
The DFA matching engine.

A DFA provides faster matching because the engine is in exactly one state at
any point in time. In the NFA, there may be multiple active states, and
considerable CPU cycles are spent shuffling them around. In finite automata
speak, the DFA follows epsilon transitions in the regex far less than the NFA.

A DFA is a classic trade off between time and space. The NFA is slower, but
its memory requirements are typically small and predictable. The DFA is faster,
but given the right regex and the right input, the number of states in the
DFA can grow exponentially. To mitigate this space problem, we do two things:

1. We implement an *online* DFA. That is, the DFA is constructed from the NFA
   during a search. When a new state is computed, it is stored in a cache so
   that it may be reused. An important consequence of this implementation
   is that states that are never reached for a particular input are never
   computed. (This is impossible in an "offline" DFA which needs to compute
   all possible states up front.)
2. If the cache gets too big, we wipe it and continue matching.

In pathological cases, a new state can be created for every byte of input.
(e.g., The regex `(a|b)*a(a|b){20}` on a long sequence of a's and b's.)
In this case, performance regresses to slightly slower than the full NFA
simulation, in large part because the cache becomes useless. If the cache
is wiped too frequently, the DFA quits and control falls back to one of the
NFA simulations.

Because of the "lazy" nature of this DFA, the inner matching loop is
considerably more complex than one might expect out of a DFA. A number of
tricks are employed to make it fast. Tread carefully.

N.B. While this implementation is heavily commented, Russ Cox's series of
articles on regexes is strongly recommended: https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/
(As is the DFA implementation in RE2, which heavily influenced this
implementation.)

        // However, we need to deal with a few things:
        //
        //   1. This is an *online* DFA, so the current state's next list
        //      may not point to anywhere yet, so we must go out and compute
        //      them. (They are then cached into the current state's next list
        //      to avoid re-computation.)
        //   2. If we come across a state that is known to be dead (i.e., never
        //      leads to a match), then we can quit early.
        //   3. If the caller just wants to know if a match occurs, then we
        //      can quit as soon as we know we have a match. (Full leftmost
        //      first semantics require continuing on.)
        //   4. If we're in the start state, then we can use a pre-computed set
        //      of prefix literals to skip quickly along the input.
        //   5. After the input is exhausted, we run the DFA on one symbol
        //      that stands for EOF. This is useful for handling empty width
        //      assertions.
        //   6. We can't actually do state.next[byte]. Instead, we have to do
        //      state.next[byte_classes[byte]], which permits us to keep the
        //      'next' list very small.
        //
        // Since there's a bunch of extra stuff we need to consider, we do some
        // pretty hairy tricks to get the inner loop to run as fast as
        // possible.

        // The last match is the currently known ending match position. It is
