RegexFlag parameters not described in most re methods. #119960
Description
Documentation
In https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html (also 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14) the flags parameter is defined in the documentation for re.compile(), but not for any other method that takes a flags parameter (search, match, fullmatch, split, findall, finditer, sub, subn).
I expected the documentation for each of those methods to at least specify the type of the flags parameter (presumably re.RegexFlag), with a link to the detailed description under the “Module Contents” section.

@kumaraditya303 it appears that the backport to 3.12 failed (maybe you missed the notification)

Seems like there was conflict while backporting, can you create the backport manually?

I'll try! it's the first time I'm doing it but it shouldn't be that hard (I think).
