Fix #2033 - Allow regexp in if expression

This changeset introduces regexp in if expression with the use of the
=~ (match) and !~ (not match) operator.

Usage:

if $uname =~ /Linux|Debian/ {
  ...
}

Moreover this patch creates ephemeral variables ($0 to $9) in the current
scope which contains the regex captures:
if $uname =~ /(Linux|Debian)/ {
  notice("this is a $1 system")
}
