contrib: use a raw string for a regular expression literal that contains backslashes in signet/miner
Running the miner under python >= 3.12 causes a SyntaxWarning. The problem was already present in previous versions, but it only triggered a DeprecationWarning, which was not shown by default. The change is useful for future-proofing the code base, since future python versions will start to exit with a runtime exception (see the reference given later). Command to see the warning at runtime under python3.11 (DeprecationWarning, needs "-Walways"): $ python3.11 -Walways ./contrib/signet/miner <BASE>/contrib/signet/miner:33: DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence '\d' RE_MULTIMINER = re.compile("^(\d+)(-(\d+))?/(\d+)$") 2023-11-15 16:02:49 ERROR Must specify command Command to see the warning at runtime under python3.12 (SyntaxWarning, no modifiers needed): $ python3.12 ./contrib/signet/miner <BASE>/contrib/signet/miner:33: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\d' RE_MULTIMINER = re.compile("^(\d+)(-(\d+))?/(\d+)$") 2023-11-15 16:03:00 ERROR Must specify command Reference ( https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/re.html ): Regular expressions use the backslash character ('\') [...]. This collides with Python’s usage of the same character for the same purpose in string literals; [...] Also, please note that any invalid escape sequences in Python’s usage of the backslash in string literals now generate a DeprecationWarning and in the future this will become a SyntaxError. The solution is to use Python’s raw string notation for regular expression patterns;
