Fix regex /i flag to not affect Unicode properties
In Perl, the /i flag makes matching case-insensitive for literals, but does NOT affect Unicode property matching (\p{...}). Changes: - RegexPreprocessorHelper: Wrap \p{...} translations in (?-i:...) to disable case-insensitive matching for property references - RegexPreprocessor: Skip over \p{...}, \P{...}, \N{...}, \x{...}, \o{...} constructs during case-fold expansion to prevent mangling property names (e.g., 'k' in 'Blk' was being expanded) - ExtendedCharClass: Wrap output in (?-i:...) since Perl's (?[...]) applies /i only to literals, not Unicode properties This fixes re/regex_sets.t tests 26-27 and enables many more tests to pass (79/88 up from 25/88).
