This change adds input validation to the gui of Change Nodes to prevent
the user from unintentionally entering an invalid regular expression

The user will be notified (using the RED notification mechanism) on the
specific error code to help resolve the issue.

identification and resolving of the configuration issue:
eg.:

new: 24 Dec 18:40:09 - [error] [change:Strip kW] Invalid regular
expression: /*kW/: Nothing to repeat
old: 24 Dec 20:15:57 - [error] [change:Strip kW] Invalid regex: *kW
new: 24 Dec 20:15:57 - [error] [change:Strip kW] Invalid regular
expression: /[kW/: Unterminated character class
