Add LRU regex cache (#7587)
Closes #7572 by adding a cache for compiled regexes of type
`Arc<Mutex<LruCache<String, Regex>>>` to `EngineState` .

The cache is limited to 100 entries (limit chosen arbitrarily) and
evicts least-recently-used items first.

This PR makes a noticeable difference when using regexes for
`color_config`, e.g.:
```bash
#first set string formatting in config.nu like:
string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' } }`

# then try displaying and exploring a table with many strings
# this is instant after the PR, but takes hundreds of milliseconds before
['#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#4101ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff']
```

## New dependency (`lru`)
This uses [the popular `lru` crate](https://lib.rs/crates/lru). The new
dependency adds 19.8KB to a Linux release build of Nushell. I think this
is OK, especially since the crate can be useful elsewhere in Nu.
