Fix infinite-loop risk in fixempties() stage of regex compilation.

The previous coding of this function could get into situations where it
would never terminate, because successive passes would re-add EMPTY arcs
that had been removed by the previous pass.  Rewrite the function
completely using a new algorithm that is guaranteed to terminate, and
also seems to be usually faster than the old one.  Per Tcl bugs 3604074
and 3606683.
