Work around incompatibility in <regex> in libc++

libc++ (the implementation of the C++ standard library usually used by
Clang) throws an exception for the regex used by parse_headers before
this patch for certain strings. Work around this by simplifying the
regex and parsing the header lines "by hand" partially. I have repro'd
this problem with Xcode 11.1 which I believe uses libc++ version 8.

This may be a bug in libc++ as I can't see why the regex would result in
asymptotic run-time complexity for any strings. However, it may take a
while for libc++ to be fixed and for everyone to migrate to it, so it
makes sense to work around it in this codebase for now.
