Find catastrophic `re` expressions #589

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some re expressions might cause DoS. See: https://www.regular-expressions.info/catastrophic.html

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to have a linting rule for this. If bandit sees a regex that might cause DoS, it should raise an error.

Describe alternatives you've considered I have considered using dlint, it has this feature: https://github.com/dlint-py/dlint/blob/master/dlint/redos/detect.py

But, it has a lot of duplicating rules from bandit. And I don't want to mix them.
