As from the pcre-8.45, the upstream stopped supporting the old pcre [1] package. The recommended procedure is to switch onto the new pcre2 library that has full upstream support. Pcre2 has been released ~7 years ago [2] but it's not fully compatible with pcre, so some code changes are expected. What do you think?

Fixes rsyslog#366
Upstream stopped the support for the old 'pcre' package. See
https://www.pcre.org/
It only supports the new 'pcre2' version, we should replace
the current pcre with the newer pcre2.
