Regular Expressions Support (Regex)

[lmaoskript]

Description

Introduce regular expression capabilities in Skript for advanced string matching, extraction, replacement, and validation, conditions for matching/searching patterns.

Why

• Better Chat Filters: Create bypass-resistant chat filters capable of detecting specific phrases, patterns, or spam attempts that are hard to catch with simple word lists or basic string contains/replace logic.
• Its nice to have. (i haven't thought of anything else)

Skript already has a condition for matching a regex, see the "matches" condition, though that's about the extent of regexes in Skript as of now afaik.

In the past someone was working on implementing the regex matcher interface with skript but since that went no where it's probably not coming soon.

Personally I find chat filters with regex to feel lacking at times.
