Lazy quantificators does't work after "or" block in regexp mask
('(a)|(b)'):
example:
string: 'CsssQsDpppppQsDpppQ'
mask: '((a)|(C.+?Q))s(D.+?Q)'


select regexp_replace('CsssQsDpppppQsDpppQ', '((C.+?Q))s(D.+?Q)', '#foo#');
result: "#foo#sDpppQ"


select regexp_replace('CsssQsDpppppQsDpppQ', '((a)|(C.+?Q))s(D.+?Q)',
'#foo#');
result: "#foo#"
expected result: "#foo#sDpppQ"
