Description
Fix build error on Windows, when paths are too long, or package contains too many files, by allowing users to set the chunk size for regex operation on Windows using environment variable
CONDA_BLD_REGEX_CHUNK_SIZE
.I don't know what's the best way to pass this configuration value.
Maybe we could also add a try/catch around the regex call to give a hint if it fails.
Fixes #5122
