Fix regexp substring matching (substring(string from pattern)) for the corner
case where there is a match to the pattern overall but the user has specified a parenthesized subexpression and that subexpression hasn't got a match. An example is substring('foo' from 'foo(bar)?'). This should return NULL, since (bar) isn't matched, but it was mistakenly returning the whole-pattern match instead (ie, 'foo'). Per bug #4044 from Rui Martins. This has been broken since the beginning; patch in all supported versions. The old behavior was sufficiently inconsistent that it's impossible to believe anyone is depending on it.
