- 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.

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 .
