Also fixed searching patterns that could match an empty string.
This will fix bpo-852532, bpo-1647489, bpo-3262, bpo-25054, and maybe others.
The difference with #4471 is that in
findall()
andfinditer()
empty matches are included in the result only when not adjacent to a previous match for consistency withsplit()
andsub()
