This PR provides an optional pure Go regex engine that allows building go-mysql-server without CGO.
The default build process (using ICU via CGO) remains unchanged.
Implementation
go-icu-regexlibrary. (internal/regex/regex_cgo.go)CGO_ENABLED=0or-tags=gms_pure_go): Uses a new implementation based on Go's standardregexppackage. (internal/regex/regex_pure.go)Build selection is handled via Go build tags.
Compatibility Notes
The pure Go engine trades compatibility for portability, as it is based on standard
regexppackage.Notable limitations compared to ICU include:
This change allows running the server in pure Go for users who can accept the trade-offs, providing greater build flexibility.
