This patch changes the validation of RegExp flags (checking for
invalid and duplicate values) from a SyntaxError at runtime to a
SyntaxError at parse time - it's not something that's supposed to be
catchable.
As a nice side effect, this simplifies the RegExpObject constructor a
bit, as it can no longer throw an exception and doesn't have to validate
the flags itself.

By using regex::AllFlags::SkipTrimEmptyMatches we get a null string for
unmatched capture groups, which we then turn into an undefined entry in
the result array instead of putting all matches first and appending
undefined for the remaining number of capture groups - e.g. for
/foo(ba((r)|(z)))/.exec("foobaz")
we now return
["foobaz", "baz", "z", undefined, "z"]
and not [
["foobaz", "baz", "z", "z", undefined]
Fixes part of #6042.
Also happens to fix selecting an element by ID using jQuery's $("#foo").
