merge revision(s) 4f19666e8b144600e959e4673f79d63f98bd637d: [Backport #16508]

	`Regexp` in `MatchData` can be `nil`

	`String#sub` with a string pattern defers creating a `Regexp`
	until `MatchData#regexp` creates a `Regexp` from the matched
	string.  `Regexp#last_match(group_name)` accessed its content
	without creating the `Regexp` though.  [Bug #16508]
