Documented non-subexp option toggling

Regexp option toggling can be done in two forms:

/(?imx:subexpr)/ - this was already mentioned in docs
/before(?imx)after/ - there was no mention of this.

This section of the documentation could be improved further, see the following from the Onigmo docs:

(?imxdau-imx)      option on/off
                     i: ignore case
                     m: multi-line (dot(.) match newline)
                     x: extended form

                   character set option (character range option)
                     d: Default (compatible with Ruby 1.9.3)
                        \w, \d and \s doesn't match non-ASCII characters.
                        \b, \B and POSIX brackets use the each encoding's
                        rules.
                     a: ASCII
                        ONIG_OPTION_ASCII_RANGE option is turned on.
                        \w, \d, \s and POSIX brackets doesn't match
                        non-ASCII characters.
                        \b and \B use the ASCII rules.
                     u: Unicode
                        ONIG_OPTION_ASCII_RANGE option is turned off.
                        \w (\W), \d (\D), \s (\S), \b (\B) and POSIX
                        brackets use the each encoding's rules.
