Avoid unnecessary byte/string conversion

[Juneezee]

We can use (*regexp.Regexp).MatchString instead of (*regexp.Regexp).Match([]byte(...)) to avoid unnecessary []byte conversions and reduce allocations. A one-line change for free performance gain.

Benchmark:

func BenchmarkMatch(b *testing.B) {
	reg, _ := regexp.Compile("[^0-9]")

	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		if match := reg.Match([]byte("v")); !match {
			b.Fail()
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkMatchString(b *testing.B) {
	reg, _ := regexp.Compile("[^0-9]")

	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		if match := reg.MatchString("v"); !match {
			b.Fail()
		}
	}
}

Result:

BenchmarkMatch-16          	19712776	        65.47 ns/op	       1 B/op	       1 allocs/op
BenchmarkMatchString-16    	24261463	        51.16 ns/op	       0 B/op	       0 allocs/op
