grep: un-break building with PCRE >= 8.32 without --enable-jit
Amend my change earlier in this series ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-04-11) to un-break the build on PCRE v1 versions later than 8.31 compiled without --enable-jit. As explained in that change and a later compatibility change in this series ("grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.32", 2017-05-10) the pcre_jit_exec() function is a faster path to execute the JIT. Unfortunately there's no compatibility stub for that function compiled into the library if pcre_config(PCRE_CONFIG_JIT, &ret) would return 0, and no macro that can be used to check for it, so the only portable option to support builds without --enable-jit is via a new NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes Makefile option[1]. Another option would be to make the JIT opt-in via USE_LIBPCRE1_JIT=YesPlease, after all it's not a default option of PCRE v1. I think it makes more sense to make it opt-out since even though it's not a default option, most packagers of PCRE seem to turn it on by default, with the notable exception of the MinGW package. Make the MinGW platform work by default by changing the build defaults to turn on NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes. It is the only platform that turns on USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease by default, see commit df5218b4c3 ("config.mak.uname: support MSys2", 2016-01-13) for that change. 1.
