#11036: make sub_match a Range

------------------------------+-------------------------
 boost::sub_match is conceptually already a Range. It already provides the
 correct typedefs and only misses the `begin()` and `end()` iterator
 retrieval functions.

 Alternatively implementing the `range_begin(sub_match&)` and
 `range_end(sub_match&)` functions would achieve the same:
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/extending/method_2.html.

 That however would not permit direct usage with C++11's foreach, member
 methods `begin()` and `end()` would.
