[OE-core][master][PATCH v2] libpcre2: Enabling Ptest support

[Shaik Moin]

Install libpcre2 test suite and run it as ptest.

Add tests for POSIX wrapper (pcre2posix_test), core PCRE2 engine (RunTest), and grep utility (RunGrepTest).

pcre2posix_test: Verifies the POSIX wrapper API
RunTest: Executes the core PCRE2 test suite through pcre2test
RunGrepTest: Checks pcre2grep to ensure its grepping style matching works as expected with various patterns and input files.

Hi Shaik,

Thanks for your patch.

This is causing some build issue:

ERROR: libpcre2-10.47-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: supports ptests but is not included in oe-core's ptest-packagelists.inc [missing-ptest]
ERROR: libpcre2-10.47-r0 do_package_qa: Fatal QA errors were found, failing task.

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/19/builds/3408
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/11/builds/3370

Can you have a look at it?

Thanks,
Mathieu
