[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-common 2/2] Tools::IPV4OCTET: move longer alternatives forward

[Wolfgang Bumiller]

In an alternation /a|b|c/ the first match matches, so while
'1.1.1.121' matches /^$IPV4RE$/ (note the ^ and $ anchors),
parsing a line like /nameserver ($IPV4RE)/ would only
extract '1.1.1.12', ignoring the last '1' due to the /[1-9]/
alternative matching before the /1[0-9]/ one.
