Invalid escape sequences in regexes

[douglas-raillard-arm]

Describe the issue

WA seems to contain a fair amount of invalid escape sequences in its regexes, as can be see from wa --help output on Python 3.12, e.g.:

workload-automation/wa/utils/types.py:62: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\ '

Most of them seem to be gone, but there is still some left:
