Tests: try_files in a regex location with alias additional tests.

When alias is used in a regex location, alias is expected to specify full
file system path to the file corresponding to the request.  When try_files
is used in such a location, it is expected to be able to add extensions
to the path, such as in the following configuration (see 3534:3711bb1336c3):

    location ~ ^/users/(.*)/files/(.*) {
        alias /files/$1/$2;
        try_files .html "" / =404;
    }

Previously, the only test was for the bug (fixed by 6226:4bc94faeff66),
where a configuration is essentially misuses alias with try_files instead
of root.  That is, all requests are mapped to a single file path using
alias, and then try_files used to add $uri to this path:

    location ~ /mail {
        alias /path/to/directory;
        try_files $uri =404;
    }

While handling such case without a segmentation fault is important, it
is not to be confused with intended try_files usage.  Further, handling
of this specific case is expected to be changed to universally support
aliased prefix replacement and configurations like this:

    location ~ ^/users/(.*)/files/(.*) {
        alias /files/$1/$2;
        try_files $uri.html $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

That is, with matching URI part (the whole URI for regex locations) replaced
with alias, so "try_files $uri.html ..." will be universally interpreted
as $request_filename with the ".html" extension added in all cases (with
root, alias, and alias in regex location).
