feat(str): Regex predicate

This is a short term API.  Different issues we'll need to consider when
evolving this include:
- Easy to create predicate
- The ability to customize the regex (e.g. case sensitivity, multi-line,
  ignoring whityespace).
  - It looks like the flags can be enabled with `(?flag)` inside the
    regex. Good enough?
- How error handling should work. Re-export? A single error type for
  the whole crate?

This is a part of assert-rs#12
