This reverts commit 447212fa65a80180150b265411924cc638a2c52c.
Reason for revert: Regression in eval behaviour bug-compatibility.
Expected behaviour (Nix 2.18.5, macOS and Linux [libstdc++/libc++]):
```
nix-repl> builtins.match "\\.*(.*)" ".keep"
[ "keep" ]
nix-repl> builtins.match "(\\.*)(.*)" ".keep"
[ "." "keep" ]
```
Actual behaviour (boost::regex):
```
nix-repl> builtins.match "\\.*(.*)" ".keep"
[ ".keep" ]
nix-repl> builtins.match "(\\.*)(.*)" ".keep"
[
"."
"keep"
]
```

This avoids C++'s standard library regexes, which aren't the same
across platforms, and have many other issues, like using stack
so much that they stack overflow when processing a lot of data.
To avoid backwards and forward compatibility issues, regexes are
processed using a function converting libstdc++ regexes into Boost
regexes, escaping characters that Boost needs to have escaped, and
rejecting features that Boost has and libstdc++ doesn't.
Related context:
- Original failed attempt to use `boost::regex` in CppNix, failed due to
boost icu dependency being large (disabling ICU is no longer necessary
because linking ICU requires using a different header file,
`boost/regex/icu.hpp`): https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3826
- An attempt to use PCRE, rejected due to providing less backwards
compatibility with `std::regex` than `boost::regex`:
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7336
- Second attempt to use `boost::regex`, failed due to `}` regex failing
to compile (dealt with by writing a wrapper that parses a regular
expression and escapes `}` characters):
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7762
Closes #34. Closes #476.

This builtin is only going to cause us problems because we are not Nix,
so let's just falsify being in the 2.18 series, since that is the
closest target that has any meaning.
In future we might want to have a better feature detection mechanism,
for when we actually add stuff to some builtin's attr set argument. But
builtins.nixVersion is just going to be hopelessly broken and it should
be stubbed out.

Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.
