[TableGen] Fix prefix detection with anchor (NFC) (#71379)
instregex uses an optimization, where the constant prefix of the regex is extracted to perform a binary search first. However, this optimization currently mainly fails to apply, because most instregex uses have an explicit ^ anchor, which gets counted as a meta char and disables the optimization. Make sure the anchor is skipped when determining the prefix. Also fix an implementation bug this exposes, where the pick a too long prefix if the first meta character is a quantifier. This cuts the time needed to generate files like X86GenInstrInfo.inc by half.
