Description of changes:

[4.5-6]
- lib/dfa.c: Increase the maximum size of the transitions table
- After changes introduced between sed 4.2 and 4.4, some regexps
  started to hit the table size limits. This lead to repeated deletion
  and rebuilding of the table, leading to massive performance drops.
  While the core issue is still present, this change should at least
  help by moving the threshold of the regexp complexity that triggers the
  table rebuilds.
- Resolves: RHEL-17133
