5.7 cherry-pick of #58835
When lexing a regex literal, treat a prefix operator containing
/the same as the unapplied infix operator case, where we tentatively lex. This means that we bail if there is no closing/or the starting character is invalid. This leaves binary operator containing/in expression position as the last place where we know that we definitely have a regex literal.Additionally, expand the starting
)character heuristic to cover the entire range of the regex literal, ensuring to take escapes and custom character classes into account. This means we will not lex a regex literal if there is an unbalanced)somewhere in the body.
