commands: Implement setinregex
The original behavior of `setlocal` allowed to pass in a regular expression that would be matched to paths. This was confusing for some users because many paths contain regular expression metacharacters and these would affect in which directories the settings apply in unexpected ways. To remedy this we decided to escape all metacharacters by default but this came at the cost of being unable to specify precisely which directories would match, as this made use of the `$` metacharacter with the original behavior. The behavior has been fixed to never match subdirectories but changing back to the original behavior and introducing a second backwards incompatible change was deemed a bad idea. So we decided to make `setlocal` an alias for the new `setinpath` and implement a `setinregex` that exhibits the original `setlocal` behavior, allowing for complex regular expressions.
