Title: override default attr for OptRegexp

Rather than literally returning the default Regex object, override the accessor
to return the string representation. This allows the RPC backend to properly
serialize the options hash values, since msgpack does not know how to serialize
a Regexp object. Fixes #3798.

# To verify the fix:

- [ ] run the steps for issue #3798 and ensure that the module
options are returned instead of a backtrace.
- [ ] ensure that the module continues to work as expected:

```
