Addresses search a line at a time as sam does, say why they fail, and a failed addr leaves no address

addr's regexps ran mvzr over text[from..hi]: ^ and $ anchored only at the
slice's ends, . matched newlines, the search never wrapped, and every
failure read as bad address syntax. The regexps stay mvzr's, called the
way sam searches (editors/acme/regx.c): one line per haystack, so ^ and $
fall at line boundaries and . never crosses a newline; a pattern naming
\\n runs over the whole text with its . made [^\\n]; /re/ wraps unless
limit is set, and ?re? takes the last match before the range. The ceiling
(mvzr's first alternative, not sam's longest) is documented. A failed
address says why (no match for regexp, address out of range, bad regular
expression), and a failed write to addr leaves no address, so data and
xdata refuse until the next good one instead of writing at the old range.
