Subject: [PATCH] gh-146333: Fix quadratic regex backtracking in configparser

option parsing (GH-146399)

Use negative lookahead in option regex to prevent backtracking, and to avoid changing logic outside the regexes (since people could use the regex directly).

(cherry picked from commit 7e0a0be4097f9d29d66fe23f5af86f18a34ed7dd)
