[issue9529] Make re match object iterable

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I think MizardX means that match object should be iterable. This will allow sequence unpacking.

>>> import re
>>> m = re.match(r'(\w+):(\w+)', 'qwerty:asdfgh')
>>> k, v = m
>>> k
'qwerty'
>>> v
'asdfgh'

This idea looks reasonable to me. Here is simple preliminary patch which implements it.
