I have updated the documentation to make it clear when the
pcre2_substring_xxx functions can be called (only after success or
PCRE2_ERROR_PARTIAL, basically). In particular, they must not be called
after errors such as PCRE2_ERROR_BADOFFSET. I have also done the same
for the other functions that extract information from the match data.

I have fixed that. Only substring 0 is available after a partial match,
however.
