Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason d048cb13c2 grep & rev-list doc: stop promising libpcre for --perl-regexp
Stop promising in our grep & rev-list options documentation that we're
always going to be using libpcre when given the --perl-regexp option.

Instead talk about using "Perl-compatible regular expressions" and
using these types of patterns using "a compile-time dependency".

Saying "libpcre" means that we're talking about libpcre.so, which is
always going to be v1. This change is part of an ongoing saga to add
support for libpcre2, which comes with PCRE v2.

In the future we might use some completely unrelated library to
provide perl-compatible regular expression support. By wording the
documentation differently and not promising any specific version of
PCRE or even PCRE at all we have more wiggle room to change the
implementation.
