[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Warn about skipping invalid regex with -Fx

[Allan McRae]

Print a warning when -Fx encounters a broken regex.

These were previosly skipped silently as when providing -Fx with multiple
arguments, a file that matches any of the arguments is returned. This
means encountering one broken argument is not an error.
