Fix panic in BoundedBacktracker when haystack length exceeds capacity

Issue #1344: When a regex like /^.{0,404600}$/ causes the bounded
backtracker's max_haystack_len() to return 0, the meta layer's guard
in wrappers.rs used '>' instead of '>=', allowing the engine to be
selected for an empty string (length 0). The engine then panicked with
MatchError(HaystackTooLong { len: 0 }) from an unwrap().

The fix changes the guard from '>' to '>=' so that when
max_haystack_len() is 0, no haystack (including the empty string)
is excluded from the backtracker engine.

Added regression test max_haystack_len_zero_excludes_engine.
