grep: fix -P [\d] by fixing \w only if PCRE2 10.43
Our prepass-based fixes for the -P \d bug have caused repeated
further bugs. Avoid the need for a prepass, by using PCRE2_UCP
only if PCRE2_EXTRA_ASCII_BSD is also supported. Since the -P \w
bug was present from grep 2.5 through 3.8 it’s OK if we wait a
little longer to fix it.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/pcresearch.c (pcre_pattern_expand_backslash_d}: Remove.
Remove its use.
(Pcompile): Use PCRE2_UCP only if PCRE2_EXTRA_ASCII_BSD.
* tests/pcre-ascii-digits, tests/pcre-utf8-w:
Skip tests on older PCRE2 implementations.
