[issue17087] Improve the repr for regular expression match objects

[Claudiu.Popa]

Claudiu.Popa added the comment:

Here's my patch attempt. The repr of a match object has the following format:
(groups=\d+, span=(start, end), group0=the entire group or the first X characters, where X is represented by a new constant in sre_constants.h, SRE_MATCH_REPR_SIZE).
