ngx.re.gsub options
https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module?tab=readme-ov-file#ngxrematch
```
Specify options to control how the match operation will be performed. The following option characters are supported:
a anchored mode (only match from the beginning)
d enable the DFA mode (or the longest token match semantics).
this requires PCRE 6.0+ or else a Lua exception will be thrown.
first introduced in ngx_lua v0.3.1rc30.
D enable duplicate named pattern support. This allows named
subpattern names to be repeated, returning the captures in
an array-like Lua table. for example,
local m = ngx.re.match("hello, world",
"(?<named>\w+), (?<named>\w+)",
"D")
-- m["named"] == {"hello", "world"}
this option was first introduced in the v0.7.14 release.
this option requires at least PCRE 8.12.
i case insensitive mode (similar to Perl's /i modifier)
j enable PCRE JIT compilation, this requires PCRE 8.21+ which
must be built with the --enable-jit option. for optimum performance,
this option should always be used together with the 'o' option.
first introduced in ngx_lua v0.3.1rc30.
J enable the PCRE Javascript compatible mode. this option was
first introduced in the v0.7.14 release. this option requires
at least PCRE 8.12.
m multi-line mode (similar to Perl's /m modifier)
o compile-once mode (similar to Perl's /o modifier),
to enable the worker-process-level compiled-regex cache
s single-line mode (similar to Perl's /s modifier)
u UTF-8 mode. this requires PCRE to be built with
the --enable-utf8 option or else a Lua exception will be thrown.
U similar to "u" but disables PCRE's UTF-8 validity check on
the subject string. first introduced in ngx_lua v0.8.1.
x extended mode (similar to Perl's /x modifier)
