Summary: Fix for outdated paragraph in re documentation.

Initial Comment:
With recent changes to the re module, a section of the 
manual has become out-of-date.  The end of the Example 
section has a warning about exceeding the recursion limit, 
but the given example no longer does so. 
 
This patch provides a new, not *too* contrived, example 
which does hit the recursion limit, and like the original doc, 
proposes a restructuring of it which avoids the recursion 
limit. 
 
It provides a "New in 2.3" sentence to show what's new. 
 
It also renames the section from "Avoiding backtracking" to 
"Avoiding recursion" since it has nothing to do with 
backtracking (and never did).

Thanks for the patch. Applied as libre.tex 1.98. Notice that
there are special \versionadded,\versionchanged commands in
Python-Tex to generate these "New/Changed in x.y" sections.
