Details:

New autoconf check to find the PCRE2 pcre2.h header and libpcre2-8 library
files. AX_CHECK_PCRE2([action-if-found], [action-if-not-found]) sets
HAVE_PCRE2 to 1 if both are found on the usual paths /usr/local /usr
/opt/local /sw or on the user-specified path with option --with-pcre2=DIR. If
both header file and library are found, shell commands 'action-if-found' is
run. If 'action-if-found' is not specified, the default action appends
'-I${PCRE2_HOME}/include' to CPFLAGS, appends '-L$PCRE2_HOME}/lib' to LDFLAGS,
prepends '-lpcre2-8' to LIBS, and calls AC_DEFINE(HAVE_PCRE2). You should use
autoheader to include a definition for this symbol in a config.h file. Sample
usage in a C/C++ source is as follows:

     #ifdef HAVE_PCRE2
     #define PCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH 8
     #include <pcre2.h>
     #endif /* HAVE_PCRE2 */

This covers the most common uses of PCRE2.

If either the header file (pcre2.h) or the library (libpcre2-8) is not  found,
shell commands 'action-if-not-found' is run. If 'action-if-not-found' is not
specified, the configuration exits on error, asking for a valid PCRE2
installation directory or --without-pcre2.
