Summary: add RegExp support to swf8

New Features: LPP-1584, LPP-6546

Release Notes:

Details:
Adds support for RegExp to swf8 by using Flash's ExternalInterface to 
proxy regular expressions to the browser.
Also defines "String.prototype.match", "String.prototype.replace" and 
"String.prototype.search".
Internally a simple cache is used to reuse compiled RegExps on the 
browser-part (LzCache).
Some extra work was necessary to workaround ExternalInterface bugs, this 
is documented in "LzRegExp.lzs".

UPDATES:
- LzCache: changed type from "Object" to "*" for swf9
- LzCache: fixed braino in LzCache#clear()
- LzCache: moved class from lfc/helpers to lfc/core, because it is 
needed in the kernel/swf8, but lfc/helpers is included after the 
kernel-files
- RegExp: changed "is RegExp" to "instanceof RegExp" for a small 
performance improvement (cf. LPP-6692)
- RegExp: added indexOf-test for a small performance improvement

Tests:
buildlfc swf8 + cd lps/includes/source; ant clean build
test/regexp.lzx
