PCRE2: port QRegularExpression to PCRE2 PCRE1 is going towards EOL. PCRE2 is the way forward in terms of new features, performance, and security improvements. The APIs that QRegularExpression uses are similar so the required modifications aren't extensive. The biggest difference comes to JIT-compiling of the pattern. In PCRE1, JIT-compiling did not modify the processed PCRE pattern, but returned a new chunk of data. This allowed multiple threads to keep matching using the same processed data and NULL for the JIT data, until a thread JIT-compiled and atomically set the shared JIT data to the results of the compilation. In PCRE2, JIT-compiling _modifies_ the processed PCRE pattern in a way that it's thread unsafe [1]; the results of JIT-compilation are stored somewhere inside the processed pattern. This means the above approach cannot work -- a thread may be matching while another one JIT-compiles, causing a data race. While waiting for better workarounds from upstream, employ a read/write mutex to protect the matching from JIT-compilation.

Support for the PCRE1 library has been dropped. A copy of PCRE2 is shipped with Qt and will automatically be used on those platforms which lack it.
