fix(parser): validate inline formatting closers with a single memoized scan

The inline formatting modes only open a span when a valid closer exists
ahead. That check was a lookahead built on CONTENT_UNTIL_PARA, tested
character by character up to the next paragraph break and re-evaluated
from scratch for every opener candidate — openers times paragraph
length. With pcre.jit=0 a crafted 32KB page took 16s and an ordinary
34KB page with long paragraphs 37s; with the JIT on (the PHP default)
the per-character lookahead exhausted the JIT stack, the match silently
failed, and the formatting — or everything after it — rendered as plain
text.

The check also decided the wrong thing. It scanned raw text, so a closer
lookalike inside content the lexer consumes atomically — a nowiki or %%
span, a backtick code span, a link, a URL — counted as a real closer
even though the mode's exit pattern can never fire there. And it ignored
the enclosing span: an inner delimiter whose only closer lay past the
closer of the mode it sits in was entered anyway, so a stray delimiter
paired with one in a following sibling span and dragged the boundary
along — the `*` in ''glob/*.conf'' joined the `*` of the next ''...''
span and corrupted the paragraph; the same held for //, ** and __ inside
monospace, and an emphasis opened inside ((...)) ran past the footnote's
)) and the enclosing bold's **.

Each formatting mode now declares its closer through
Lexer::addCloserPattern(), mirroring addExitPattern(), and the lexer
answers "does a valid closer exist ahead" with one anchored possessive
scan per range instead of a lookahead per opener:

- The scan runs left to right from the opener, hopping over opaque spans
derived from already-registered patterns — a plain or special match is
consumed in one step, an entry into a verbatim mode (nowiki, the
backtick code spans) extends to that mode's first exit — so a closer
lookalike inside consumed content is never mistaken for a closer. Each
hop finds the earliest of boundary, closer, or opaque span in a single
leftmost search, keeping the check linear.
- An opener is rejected when the nearest enclosing mode that has a closer
of its own would close before the opener's own closer, so a delimiter
that can never close within its span stays literal. That ancestor is
found by walking the mode stack past modes that declare no closer
(plugins, footnotes); the nearest guarded ancestor suffices, as it was
itself validated against its own when it opened.
- Both verdicts are memoized and reset per parse() run: a proven closer
validates every earlier candidate, and a proven closer-free range
rejects every later candidate before the next boundary. With the lexer
consuming each opened span, the whole parse is linear in document size.

Closer patterns match the closing delimiter itself with flanking context
in lookarounds — the convention exit patterns already follow — so closer
positions compare exactly across modes and a closer directly after an
inner opener is seen. AbstractFormatting derives the closer from the exit
pattern and registers it with the paragraph break as the boundary,
preserving the rule that formatting never spans paragraphs; a mode with
other needs can pass a different boundary or none.

Footnote declares its )) as a closer rather than guarding its (( entry
with a (?=.*)) lookahead, so the footnote becomes a boundary the scan
sees and formatting inside it no longer pairs across the )); its closer
takes no paragraph boundary, as footnotes are block-level. GfmEmphasis
gains a closer pattern so single * emphasis is validated the same way,
while its entry lookahead still enforces CommonMark nearest-delimiter
pairing. GfmEmphasis and GfmStrong span bodies cannot contain their
delimiter, so their in-pattern lookaheads stay linear on their own; the
GFM backtick span bodies get deterministic alternatives with possessive
quantifiers, removing their per-character backtracking.

CONTENT_UNTIL_PARA is removed: any entry pattern built with it recreates
the quadratic scan. ParallelRegex gains escapePattern() so embedded
closer fragments follow the lexer's bare-parenthesis convention, reports
PREG_JIT_STACKLIMIT_ERROR so a future JIT exhaustion surfaces instead of
silently truncating, and no longer rewrites its registered patterns in
place while compiling the compound regex.

The adversarial 32KB page drops to 0.1s, the 37-second benign page to
0.1s, and a 128KB variant stays under 0.6s.

fix(parser): keep a mode's directly-assigned allowedModes when it also declares categories

setModeRegistry() replaced $this->allowedModes with the category-derived list
whenever a mode declared categories, discarding any mode names the subclass had
assigned to the property directly. The old SyntaxPlugin::accepts() merged the
category modes into the existing list instead, so a mode using the
sibling-component pattern - a non-empty getAllowedTypes() plus
$this->allowedModes[] = 'plugin_foo_bar' in its constructor - kept both and its
sibling syntax nested as intended.

Merge the category-derived modes into the directly-assigned list rather than
replacing it, then deduplicate. The no-categories path is unchanged: the
directly-assigned list is used as-is.

Parsing: make parse syntax a per-parse value, drop ModeInterface

The active parse's syntax flavour is a per-parse question, not process-
global state: within a single request a plugin can render bundled
DokuWiki-syntax text inside an otherwise-Markdown page. Yet ModeRegistry
was a singleton that read $conf['syntax'] and the $PARSER_MODES global,
and every mode reached it through ModeRegistry::getInstance() — so the
flavour lived in shared mutable state that two parses in one request
would fight over.

Make the registry a short-lived value instead:

- ModeRegistry is constructed once per parse with an explicit $syntax
and injected into Parser, Handler and every mode. getSyntax() /
isDwPreferred() / isMdPreferred() consult $this->syntax; the
DOKU_UNITTEST-gated mode-list cache hack is gone (each registry is
fresh, nothing to invalidate).
- p_get_instructions() is now the single place in the pipeline where
$conf['syntax'] is read; from there the flavour travels as a
parameter. No code under inc/Parsing/ reads $conf['syntax'] directly
anymore — the five syntax-reading modes (Preformatted, GfmHr,
GfmEscape, Externallink, GfmQuote) route through $this->registry.

Keep the two concepts apart, as documented in the ModeRegistry and
AbstractMode docblocks: the user's configured *preference* stays in
$conf['syntax'] for UI code (toolbar, settings), while the active
parse's syntax is a parameter carried by the registry.

$PARSER_MODES is demoted to a deprecated, read-only mirror, published
during loadPluginModes() — third-party syntax plugins (columnlist,
alphalist2, phpwikify, skipentity) and the bundled info plugin read the
global directly, often from their constructors, so the taxonomy must
stay visible there. No core code reads the mirror.

Fold ModeInterface into AbstractMode while here: getSort()/handle() are
abstract, the connect callbacks carry defaults, and the public $Lexer
"FIXME should be done by setter" becomes setLexer()/getLexer() injected
by Parser::addMode() alongside the registry. Nested-content resolution
moves to the allowedCategories()/filterAllowedModes() hooks, resolved
once when the registry is attached.

Tests build their own parser/registry through ParserTestBase::setSyntax()
instead of mutating $conf and calling the removed ModeRegistry::reset().

add regex-primitive constants and getInstructionName() hook

Preparatory refactor for the upcoming GFM parser modes. No behaviour
change for any existing mode: CONTENT_UNTIL_PARA still evaluates to
the same regex (now factored through NOT_AT_PARA_BREAK), and
getInstructionName() defaults to getModeName() so all current
AbstractFormatting subclasses emit the same handler instructions as
before.

AbstractMode gains four new shared regex constants:

NOT_AT_PARA_BREAK — zero-width assertion: current position is not
the start of a paragraph break (blank line).
Extracted from CONTENT_UNTIL_PARA for reuse in
patterns that need a custom body char class.

NON_WORD_CHAR — char class: ASCII whitespace or ASCII punctuation
except `_`. Multibyte-safe by construction:
UTF-8 continuation bytes are >= 0x80 and thus
fall outside every ASCII class, so checking
positively that the surrounding context IS a
non-word char correctly treats multibyte
letters as word-like. No `u` flag required.

NO_WORD_BEFORE — zero-width: preceded by NON_WORD_CHAR or at
start-of-input/line. For intraword-aware
openers.

NO_WORD_AFTER — zero-width: followed by NON_WORD_CHAR or at
end-of-input. Complement of NO_WORD_BEFORE.

AbstractFormatting gains a getInstructionName() hook that defaults to
getModeName(). Subclasses that want to emit handler instructions under
a different name than their lexer mode name (so a Gfm mode can share
DW's `emphasis_open`/`strong_open` instructions while registering its
own lexer state) override this method.

prevent inline formatting from matching across paragraph boundaries

The Lexer compiles all patterns with the `s` (DOTALL) flag via
ParallelRegex::getPerlMatchingFlags(), which makes `.` match newlines.
Inline formatting modes use lookaheads like `\*\*(?=.*\*\*)` to verify
a closing delimiter exists, so with DOTALL a lone `**` happily matched
its "closer" many paragraphs later, swallowing blank lines into a
single <strong> run.

Add CONTENT_UNTIL_PARA on AbstractMode — a regex snippet matching any
character unless it would start a paragraph break (blank line, possibly
with horizontal whitespace). Update all inline formatting entry patterns
(Strong, Emphasis, Underline, Monospace, Subscript, Superscript,
Deleted) to use it in their closing-delimiter lookaheads.

Emphasis also gets a real closing-`//` check; its previous lookahead
just verified "content exists with a non-colon char" without requiring
the closing delimiter at all.

Single newlines inside a delimiter pair still match (multi-line
formatting); only blank lines end it.

BREAKING: This means you no longer can mark multiple paragraphs as bold
or strike them out. On the other hand it prevents accidentally breaking
the page layout by missing a closing delimiter (as reported many many
times over the years) eg. #1025 #3588 #1056
