* Remove needless RegExp flag
In fixed case, `/g` flag is needless in the boolean context.
* Remove needless RegExp capturing
Use non-capturing grouping or remove capturing completely when:
* capturing is useless per se, e.g. in test() check;
* captured groups are not used afterward at all;
* some of the later captured groups are not used afterward.
* Use test, not match/exec in boolean context
match() and exec() return a complicated object,
unneeded in a boolean context.
* Do not needlessly repeat RegExp creation
This commit takes RegExp creation out of cycles and other repetitions.
As long as the RegExp does not use /g flag and match indices,
we are safe here.
In tests, this fix hardly gives a significant performance gain,
but it increases clarity and maintainability,
reassuring some RegExps to be identical.
RegExp in functions are not taken out of their functions:
while these functions are called many times
and their RegExps are recreated with each call,
the performance gain in test cases
does not seem to be worth decreasing function self-dependency.

Export a new common.noop no-operation function for general use.
Allow using common.mustCall() without a fn argument to simplify
test cases.
Replace various non-op functions throughout tests with common.noop
