Fixes rsyslog#366 Upstream stopped the support for the old 'pcre' package. See https://www.pcre.org/ It only supports the new 'pcre2' version, we should replace the current pcre with the newer pcre2.

As @Cropi wrote on Jun 6, 2023 the PCRE library is at version 8.45. This version is end of life from Jun 15, 2021 and is no longer maintained. All development now happening in the PCRE2 10.xx series. Project like OpenWrt decided to remove support for packages that have dependency from obsolete and no longer maintained PCRE library. @rgerhards I kindly ask you to help us |

I know that for various reasons it's not recommended to use regex but some years ago it has been enabled and shipped in Fedora, so we would like to further maintain it.
Fixes #366
