Support regex with "?!" in HTTPProxy

[jadefr]

I get the following error when creating HTTPProxy with "?!":

  - errors:
    - message: 'route: supplied regex: /lorem/(?!.*\/ipsum)(.*) invalid. error: error
        parsing regexp: invalid or unsupported Perl syntax: `(?!`'
      reason: PathMatchConditionsNotValid
      status: "True"
      type: RouteError

Steps to reproduce:

Deploy yaml:

apiVersion: projectcontour.io/v1
kind: HTTPProxy
metadata:
  name: basic
spec:
  virtualhost:
    fqdn: foo-basic.bar.com
  routes:
    - conditions:
      - regex: /lorem/(?!.*\/ipsum)(.*)
      services:
        - name: s1
          port: 80

I believe using package regexp2 would solve the issue.
As an example, the following PR was done in NGINX Virtual Server: nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress#4465

Hi @jadefr. the validation Contour does using Go’s regexpshould align with Google’s RE2 engine as used in Envoy. It appears that NGINX uses PCRE, which does support negative lookaheads.
