PATCH: redefine $decimal, $hex, $text vars

[Ben Elliston]

I think this patch is an improvement becaue it (a) is much more
readable and (b) matches non-ASCII characters when non-English locales
are used.

OK?

        * runtest.exp (hex): Simplify using Tcl regexp character
        classes.
        (decimal): Likewise.
        * lib/target.exp (text): Likewise. Replace a range of
        punctuation characters with the [:punct:] character class
        which is more permissive.
