As a start, lightly change lint.rules.Regexp, making it a subclass of lint.rules.Rule, thus allowing it to use the generic lint.rules.Rule.error. With that done, we now pass the subpattern matches as the context to the error factor, allowing them to be used in the description, thus letting us give users better error descriptions.

We have a number of places where tests use UA sniffing when they have no reasonable reason to; we really shouldn't do this, as it just leads to more problems down the road when we're trying to get interoperability.

Partly motivated by #55864, this adds a lint in an attempt to discourage people from adding needless UA-sniffing branches to their tests.
This also in the first commit slightly refactors
lint.rules.Regexpto make it a subclass oflint.rules.Ruleso we can use the genericlint.rules.Rule.error, and then using that passes in the subpattern matches as the context to allow them to be used in the description, allowing us to give users better error messages.
