Fixed sre bug "[#581080] Provoking infinite scanner loops".
This bug happened because: 1) the scanner_search and scanner_match methods were not checking the buffer limits before increasing the current pointer; and 2) SRE_SEARCH was using "if (ptr == end)" as a loop break, instead of "if (ptr >= end)". * Modules/_sre.c (SRE_SEARCH): Check for "ptr >= end" to break loops, so that we don't hang forever if a pointer passing the buffer limit is used. (scanner_search,scanner_match): Don't increment the current pointer if we're going to pass the buffer limit. * Misc/NEWS Mention the fix.
