inspect.getsource does not work for a class-defined code object #116987

Bug report

Bug description:

In the following MRE, code.co_firstlineno correctly returns 4, the first line number of the class definition, but getsource(code) returns the content of the entire file:

import sys
from inspect import getsource

class A:
    code = sys._getframe(0).f_code
    print(code.co_firstlineno)
    print(getsource(code))

This is because inspect.findsource uses a regex pattern that does not match class:

pat = re.compile(r'^(\s*def\s)|(\s*async\s+def\s)|(.*(?<!\w)lambda(:|\s))|^(\s*@)')
