#895)

* regexFirstGroup return first group from regexp, useful with .env files and another config files

* documentation about regexFirstGroup and example

* modify func regexFirstGroup to findStringSubmatch, return all the submatchs from regex

* func findStringSubmatch(), returns map[string]interface{} for use with get and named parenthesized subexpressions or stringfied array string
