> Reduces excessive allocation of Matcher.groups array when the original Pattern has no groups or less than 9 groups.
>
> Original clamping to 10 possibly due to documented behavior from javadoc:
> "In this class, \1 through \9 are always interpreted as back references, "
>
> Only with Matcher changes RegExTest.backRefTest fails when backreferences to non-existing groups are present.
> Added a match failure condition in Pattern that fixes failing tests.
>
> As per existing `java.util.regex.Pattern.BackRef#match`: "// If the referenced group didn't match, neither can this"
>
> A group that does not exist in the original Pattern can never match so neither can a backref to that group.
> If the group existed in the original Pattern then it would have had space allocated in Matcher.groups for that group index.
> So a group index outside groups array length must never match.
