sed: add 'x' flag to the 's' command.

The GNU tar manual, when talking about the `tar --transform` option that I
need to implement, describes the 'x' flag by saying "regexp is an extended
regular expression (see section 'Extended regular expressions' in GNU sed)".

Only it turns out that even the latest GNU sed doesn't actually have
that flag. It's unique to `tar --transform`. That link is just telling
you that the sed manual will explain extended regular expressions, not
that GNU sed also supports the 'x' flag.

So I don't know whether we want this in toybox sed after all. (It made
sense that sed would have such a flag, but no sed that I know of
actually does.)
