[PATCH 1/2] docs: python: abi_regex: catch the right exception for a bad regex

Message-ID <d57d3ddc0d7d883bd61ad07c6d3969b622fd446f.1786058698.git.alison.schofield@intel.com>
While validating recent CXL ABI documentation updates with
get_abi.py, the 'undefined' mode was found to abort instead of
reporting undocumented ABI entries.

Older Python releases raise re.error, while newer releases expose
re.PatternError. Catching only the newer name causes the scan to
abort when an invalid expression is encountered.

Catch both names so the scan continues and reports the remaining
results.
