RegexMatchers

[carlosmiranda]

When I was working on jcabi/jcabi-aspects#88, I needed to create a unit test that used Regex matching as its assertion condition. I realized that Hamcrest did not have built-in matchers for regex. I think it will be very useful if we can have one as standard.

I propose that we create a class RegexMatchers, which will initially have the following methods:

• Matcher<String> matchesPattern(String pattern): returns a Matcher that checks if the entire string matches the given pattern (should work like the String.matches() method).
• Matcher<String> containsPattern(String pattern): returns a Matcher that checks if a string contains a subsequence that matches the given pattern (similar to Matcher.find() method).
