Description:        regexp \m and \M don't work for cyrillic
Details:

psql krym
krym=> \encoding
UTF8
krym=> create table test (txt varchar);
CREATE TABLE
krym=> insert into test values ('latin');
INSERT 0 1
krym=> insert into test values ('кирилиця');
INSERT 0 1
krym=> select * from test;
   txt
----------
 latin
 кирилиця
(2 rows)

krym=> select * from test where txt ~* E'\\mla';
  txt
-------
 latin
(1 row)

krym=> select * from test where txt ~* E'\\mкир';
 txt
-----
(0 rows)

escaping specials in regular expressions \m and \M for beginning of word and
end of word work for latin symbols bug don't for cyrillic
