grep: stop using a custom JIT stack with PCRE v1

Simplify the PCRE v1 code for the same reasons as for the PCRE v2 code
in the last commit. Unlike with v2 we actually used the custom stack
in v1, but let's use PCRE's built-in 32 KB one instead, since
experience with v2 shows that's enough. Most distros are already using
v2 as a default, and the underlying sljit code is the same.

Unfortunately we can't just pass a NULL to pcre_jit_exec() as with
pcre2_jit_match(). Unlike the v2 function it doesn't support
that. Instead we need to use the fatter pcre_exec() if we'd like the
same behavior.

This will make things slightly slower than on the fast-path function,
but it's OK since we care less about v1 performance these days since
we have and recommend v2. Running a similar performance test as what I
ran in fbaceaac47 ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API",
2017-05-25) via:

    GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE1=Y CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre/inst' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh

Gives us this, just the /perl/ results:

    Test                                            HEAD~             HEAD
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    7820.3: perl grep 'how.to'                      0.19(0.67+0.52)   0.19(0.65+0.52) +0.0%
    7820.7: perl grep '^how to'                     0.19(0.78+0.44)   0.19(0.72+0.49) +0.0%
    7820.11: perl grep '[how] to'                   0.39(2.13+0.43)   0.40(2.10+0.46) +2.6%
    7820.15: perl grep '(e.t[^ ]*|v.ry) rare'       0.44(2.55+0.37)   0.45(2.47+0.41) +2.3%
    7820.19: perl grep 'm(ú|u)lt.b(æ|y)te'          0.23(1.06+0.42)   0.22(1.03+0.43) -4.3%

It will also implicitly re-enable UTF-8 validation for PCRE v1. As
noted in [1] we now have cases as a result where PCRE v1 is more eager
to error out. Subsequent patches will fix that for v2, and I think
it's fair to tell v1 users "just upgrade" and not worry about that
edge case for v1.
