Makefile & configure: reword inaccurate comment about PCRE
Reword an outdated & inaccurate comment which suggests that only git-grep can use PCRE. This comment was added back when PCRE support was initially added in commit 63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn PCRE", 2011-05-09), and was true at the time. It hasn't been telling the full truth since git-log learned to use PCRE with --grep in commit 727b6fc3ed ("log --grep: accept --basic-regexp and --perl-regexp", 2012-10-03), and more importantly is likely to get more inaccurate over time as more use is made of PCRE in other areas. Reword it to be more future-proof, and to more clearly explain that this enables user-initiated runtime behavior. Copy/pasting this so much in configure.ac is lame, these Makefile-like flags aren't even used by autoconf, just the corresponding --with[out]-* options. But copy/pasting the comments that make sense for the Makefile to configure.ac where they make less sense is the pattern everything else follows in that file. I'm not going to war against that as part of this change, just following the existing pattern.
