    Given a reg-exp pattern, normalizes it to an iterable of forms that
    suffice for reverse matching. This does the following:

    (1) For any repeating sections, keeps the minimum number of occurrences
        permitted (this means zero for optional groups).
    (2) If an optional group includes parameters, include one occurrence of
        that group (along with the zero occurrence case from step (1)).
    (3) Select the first (essentially an arbitrary) element from any character
        class. Select an arbitrary character for any unordered class (e.g. '.'
        or '\w') in the pattern.
    (5) Ignore comments and any of the reg-exp flags that won't change
        what we construct ("iLmsu"). "(?x)" is an error, however.
    (6) Raise an error on all other non-capturing (?...) forms (e.g.
        look-ahead and look-behind matches) and any disjunctive ('|')
        constructs.

    Django's URLs for forward resolving are either all positional arguments or
    all keyword arguments. That is assumed here, as well. Although reverse
    resolving can be done using positional args when keyword args are
    specified, the two cannot be mixed in the same reverse() call.
