[PATCH v3 0/6] Add PCRE support to git-grep

["Michał Kiedrowicz" <michal.kiedrowicz@gmail.com>]

This is the 3rd attempt to add PCRE support to git-grep.

Changes from v2:

* Replaced NO_LIBPCRE with USE_LIBPCRE. This makes libpcre support
optional. I also considered WITH_LIBPCRE but I see most #defines start
with USE_.

* Renamed 'pcre_extra *extra' with 'pcre_extra *pcre_extra_info'. Now
this variable is more descriptive.

* Reworded description of USE_LIBPCRE in Makefile and configure.ac

* I _didn't_ change the die() message to contain only "Perl-compatible
regexes not supported", but left "cannot use Perl-compatible regexes
when not compiled with USE_LIBPCRE". In my opinion this is more
informative to the user. However, it's OK for me to change that if more
people prefer shorter version.

* Removed die() from pcrematch() and free_pcre_regexp(), because die()
is first called from compile_pcre_regexp(). I left die() there and not
moved it to option parsing because I'd like to keep as few '#ifdef
USE_LIBPCRE' as possible.

* Added compile_regexp_failed() which handles both regcomp() and
pcre_compile() failures.

* Added basic testcases. I'm not sure if I should repeat all
git-grep tests with -P enabled, this seems to be officiousness. Beyond
testing -P/--perl-regexp and their interaction with -i and -w,  I also
check if `git grep -F -P` and `git grep -E -P` was called, but do not
protect from `git grep -G -P` nor `git grep -E -G -P`. Fixing this
would require changing the way -G -E are parsed (currently they
set/unset REG_EXTENDED bit in opts.regflags). Personally, if I were
fixing this, I'd remove regflags completely from grep_opt and use it
only in functions which call regcomp()/regexec() directly. That would
make code more general. But it's also possible to just convert option
parsing code to properly detect used flags. That said, I don't think the
end result is worth the effort.

I'd like to thank for all comments!
