grep: change the internal PCRE macro names to be PCRE1
Change the internal USE_LIBPCRE define, & build options flag to use a
naming convention ending in PCRE1, without changing the long-standing
USE_LIBPCRE Makefile flag which enables this code.
This is for preparation for libpcre2 support where having things like
USE_LIBPCRE and USE_LIBPCRE2 in any more places than we absolutely
need to for backwards compatibility with old Makefile arguments would
be confusing.
In some ways it would be better to change everything that now uses
USE_LIBPCRE to use USE_LIBPCRE1, and to make specifying
USE_LIBPCRE (or --with-pcre) an error. This would impose a one-time
burden on packagers of git to s/USE_LIBPCRE/USE_LIBPCRE1/ in their
build scripts.
However I'd like to leave the door open to making
USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease eventually mean USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease,
i.e. once PCRE v2 is ubiquitous enough that it makes sense to make it
the default.
This code and the USE_LIBPCRE Makefile argument was added in commit
63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn PCRE", 2011-05-09). At the time there was
no indication that the PCRE project would release an entirely new &
incompatible API around 3 years later.
