Bug #6415: wrong documentation for Regex#==/eql?

The documentation states that "Two regexps are equal if their patterns are identical, they have the same character set code, and their casefold? values are the same" and gives the following example:

/abc/  == /abc/n   #=> false

In fact, this returns true -- the /n character set code option is a special case.
