pcre: Add JIT-support for select architectures

- This commit adds a config-option for JIT in libpcre(1).

  According to research published on
  https://rust-leipzig.github.io/regex/2017/03/28/comparison-of-regex-engines/
  this should give a 10x performance increase on JIT operations
  which can be desireable for high performance Apache mod_rewrite
  or haproxy reqrep operations.

  This option is available on all officially supported architecutres
  which are listed on https://pcre.org/original/doc/html/pcrejit.html#SEC3.
  Furthermore, it is enabled by default on the following
  architectures: arm, i686, x86_64.

Enable JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler support.
Enabling this option can give an about 10x performance increase on JIT operations. It can be desireable for e.g. high performance Apache mod_rewrite or HA-Proxy reqrep operations.
However, JIT should _only_ be enabled on architectures that are supported. Enabling JIT on unsupported platforms will result in a compilation failure. A list of supported architectures can be found here: https://pcre.org/original/doc/html/pcrejit.html#SEC3 .
