#238: regsub only replaces one occurance

 In the manpage, it says that regsub "[r]eturns a copy of str with all
 occurrences of the regular expression regex replaced with sub".

 In reality, it only replaces the *first* occurrence.  Since vcl doesn't
 have loops, it is highly inconvenient to replace all.  (It could probably
 be done by including some C, I guess...?)

 This patch brings the reality in line with the documentation, by making
 regsub replace *all* occurrences.

 It's a patch against r2617.
