regex: avoid using literal optimizations when whitespace is detected
If a literal is entirely whitespace, then it's quite likely that it is very common. So when that case occurs, just don't do (inner) literal optimizations at all. The regex engine may still make sub-optimal decisions here, but that's a problem for another day. Fixes #1087
