Fix ranges with multibyte characters as endpoints.
This is another bug in computing the fastmap. It was reported by a user of sed because it usually does not happen with !_LIBC. However, it is there in that case too. The bug is that whenever we have a range at the beginning of the regex, the regex must be tested on any possible multibyte character. The reason why _LIBC masks it, is that in general there is a collation symbol for each possible multibyte-character lead byte, so all the lead bytes are in general already part of the fastmap. The tests use cyrillic characters as an example. With _LIBC, they pass without the patch too, but you can make them fail by removing collation symbols handling.
