Consider supporting \(?: which is part of Emacs regular expressions

When using the Emacs mode of regular expressions in gnulib, \(?: is not
supported - but this is supported by regular expressions in Emacs
itself.

This is useful to support because \(?: is frequently used by Emacs
features which generate regular expressions (namely rx and regexp-opt)
and supporting \(?: allows those regular expressions to be used in other
GNU tools.
