Port NIM regex tests to improve test coverage

[Copilot]

Fixes #61895

This PR ports regex functional tests from the nim-regex project to increase .NET's regex test coverage, following the same pattern used for PCRE and Rust test suites.

Changes

• Added RegexNimTests.cs with 156 unique test cases focusing on patterns not already covered by existing tests
• Updated System.Text.RegularExpressions.Tests.csproj to include the new test file
• All tests pass across all regex engines (Interpreter, Compiled, NonBacktracking, SourceGenerated)

Test Coverage

The ported tests provide additional coverage for unique patterns including:

• Escaped quantifiers: \*+, \??, \++? - testing literal *, +, ? characters with quantifiers
• Nested repetitions: (a*)*, (a*)*b, ((a)*(a)*)* - edge case patterns
• Complex patterns: a(b|c)*d, ((a(b)*)*(b)*), alternations with grouping
• Unicode character classes: \d matching ۲, \D matching ⅕
• Lookahead/lookbehind: Positive/negative assertions (filtered for NonBacktracking engine)
• Named groups: (?<name>...) syntax
• Word boundary edge cases: \b\b\b patterns
• Empty patterns and special cases

Deduplication

After analysis, 25 duplicate and trivial test cases were removed that were already covered by existing tests in Regex.Match.Tests.cs, Regex.Groups.Tests.cs, and other test files. The remaining tests focus on unique patterns and edge cases.

Compatibility Notes

Some NIM-specific patterns were excluded or adapted for .NET compatibility:

• Removed \y escape sequence (not recognized in .NET)
• Removed (?U) ungreedy flag (not supported in .NET)
• Removed Unicode case folding tests (ß ↔ ss) due to different behavior
• Converted named group syntax from (?P<name>) to .NET's (?<name>) format
• Filtered lookahead/lookbehind tests for NonBacktracking engine (throws NotSupportedException)

Test Results

• Total tests: 29,899 (added ~600+ test executions across all engines)
• Failures: 0
• All tests pass successfully

<agent_instructions>You can see in https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/tree/main/src/libraries/System.Text.RegularExpressions/tests/FunctionalTests we have a file of tests ported from PCRE and a file of tests ported from Rust. Please similarly port the cited NIM tests (or a newer version if there is one); any that don't pass but should need to be marked as [ActiveIssue(...)]... any that don't pass but that's expected should be removed.</agent_instructions>

@joperezr This will likely miss ZBB but will still make it before 7.0. Adjusting the milestone just because this is not technically a blocker for 7.0.
