Regex: accept Java-compatible char-class dash and (X+)* quantifier

irregex rejected two patterns the JVM accepts, which blocked library loads:

- [\w-_] errored with bad char-set because a - after a shorthand class was
  read as a range start. Java reads it as a literal hyphen. Preprocess the
  pattern to escape such a dash.
- (X+)* errored with duplicate repetition because sre-repeater? recurses
  through submatch, treating a quantified group like a dangling a**. Override
  it to a bare leading * / + check, matching the JVM (which only rejects the
  dangling case).

Both in regex.ss (runtime). Unblocks cuerdas (was load-fail, now 292 passing)
and aws-api config-test. Also documents the host/chez/java source-layering rule
in host-interop.md.
