While validating recent CXL ABI documentation updates with
get_abi.py, the 'undefined' mode was found to abort instead of
reporting undocumented ABI entries.
Older Python releases raise re.error, while newer releases expose
re.PatternError. Catching the compatible re.error exception handles
both cases.
Use re.error so the scan continues and reports the remaining
results.

While validating recent CXL ABI documentation updates with
get_abi.py, every decoderX.Y entry was reported as undocumented.
The placeholder conversion mishandles adjacent index placeholders,
producing patterns that cannot match the corresponding sysfs paths.
As a result, valid ABI entries are reported as undocumented.
Handle adjacent placeholders independently so generated patterns match
the documented paths. This fixes decoderX.Y entries in the CXL ABI and
other ABI documentation that uses the same naming convention.
