Writing challenge files

Each challenge is spec'd as a JSON-formatted file:

{
    "input" : "hello world",
    "matches" : [
        "hello"
    ],
    "groups" : [
        "hello"
    ],
    "creator" : "@yaleman",
    "example_solution" : "(^\\w+)"
}

You can test them by running ./regex_challenge.py test <filename>, eg:

$ ./regex_challenge.py test "./challenges/2022-01-07-hello-world.json"
2022-01-07 12:33:34.382 | INFO     | __main__:test:111 - # Testing ./challenges/2022-01-07-hello-world.json
2022-01-07 12:33:34.382 | DEBUG    | __main__:test:121 - Found example solution
2022-01-07 12:33:34.382 | INFO     | __main__:test:135 - ✅ ./challenges/2022-01-07-hello-world.json passes tests!
