bpo-31324: Optimize support._match_test() (#4421)

* Rename support._match_test() to support.match_test(): make it
  public
* Remove support.match_tests global variable. It is replaced with a
  new support.set_match_tests() function, so match_test() doesn't
  have to check each time if patterns were modified.
* Rewrite match_test(): use different code paths depending on the
  kind of patterns for best performances.
