grep: --version: print pcre version info
PCRE is integral to the functioning of grep's -P option, so it is in our
interest to make it easy to see which version of PCRE grep uses.
* src/grep.c [HAVE_LIBPCRE]: Include <pcre2.h>.
[HAVE_LIBPCRE] (main): Print pcre version info.
* tests/version-pcre: New test for this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the file name.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
