Build NFA nodes for "." and "class" metacharacters

* src/paca.mjs
  (characterClass): Add function that builds the NFA node for
    `{ meta: "class" }`.  This node leaves the "direct" and
    "transitions" keys empty, and add its data under the "meta" key.
    One option was to use an inline function that could simply be
    called directly during the search to check for a match, but instead
    I chose a data representation instead, in order to keep the NFA
    literal as obvious and self-representing as possible.  Later, the
    searching part will have to properly interpret the data of "meta"
    properly, instead of blindly executing an opaque function.  This
    does separate the compilation from execution logic, but keep the NFA
    clean of opaque closures.
  (wildcard): Add function that buildl the NFA node for `{ meta: "." }`.
    Similar to `characterClass()`, the new "meta" key contains pure data
    that represents the execution of the metacharacter during search.
  (baseNFA, literal): Rename the existing `baseNFA()` to `literal()`.
    Then add a new `baseNFA()` function that decides between a character
    literal and a metacharacter.
  (buildNFAStep): Instead of checking the type of `token`, we check if
    `token` has the "operator" attribute, since we now have
    metacharacters that also aren't strings.
  (classStateStep): Add missing "caret" key to the final metacharacter
    output.  It was already being detected, just not included in the
    result.
  (escapingStateStep): Stick to 80 columns.
* tests/paca.mjs
  (test_characterClass, test_wildcard, test_baseNFA): Add obligatory
    test cases.
  (test_buildNFAStep): Include test case for metacharacter.
