[issue26436] Add the regex-dna benchmark

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I would add another kind of question: is it stressing something useful that isn't already stressed by the two other regex benchmarks we already have?

Given that it seems built around a highly-specialized use case (DNA matching?) and we don't even know if regular expressions are actually the tool of choice in the field (unless someone here is a specialist), I'm rather skeptical.

(in general, everything coming the "Computer Language Benchmarks Game" should be taken with a grain of salt IMHO: it's mostly people wanting to play writing toy programs)
