[PATCH 20/23] regex.3: SYNOPSIS: Use 'restrict' in prototypes

Both POSIX and glibc use 'restrict' in regcomp(), regexec(),
regerror().
Let's use it here too.

.../glibc$ grep_glibc_prototype regcomp
posix/regex.h:644:
extern int regcomp (regex_t *_Restrict_ __preg,
const char *_Restrict_ __pattern,
int __cflags);
.../glibc$ grep_glibc_prototype regexec
posix/regex.h:648:
extern int regexec (const regex_t *_Restrict_ __preg,
const char *_Restrict_ __String, size_t __nmatch,
regmatch_t __pmatch[_Restrict_arr_],
int __eflags);
.../glibc$ grep_glibc_prototype regerror
posix/regex.h:653:
extern size_t regerror (int __errcode, const regex_t *_Restrict_ __preg,
char *_Restrict_ __errbuf, size_t __errbuf_size);
.../glibc$
