OpenBSD's regex library has a repetition limit (RE_DUP_MAX) of 255.
That's the minimum acceptable value according to POSIX. In t4062 we use
4096 repetitions in the test "-G matches", though, causing it to fail.
Do the same as the test "-S --pickaxe-regex" in the same file and search
for a single zero instead. That still suffices to trigger the buffer
overrun in older versions (checked with b7d36ffca02^ and --valgrind on
Linux), simplifies the test a bit, and avoids exceeding OpenBSD's limit.
