regexp_like_no_flags is the same as textregexeq,
therefore let the textregexeq support function also used in
regexp_like_no_flags is OK, i think.

we already have coverage for textregexeq_support,
https://coverage.postgresql.org/src/backend/utils/adt/like_support.c.gcov.html.
I tend to think V1 regression tests are unnecessary, but that's a minor point.
