grep/pcre2: move back to thread-only PCREv2 structures

Browse Source 
Change the setup of the "pcre2_general_context" to happen per-thread
in compile_pcre2_pattern() instead of in grep_init().

This change brings it in line with how the rest of the pcre2_* members
in the grep_pat structure are set up.

As noted in the preceding commit the approach 513f2b0bbd (grep: make
PCRE2 aware of custom allocator, 2019-10-16) took to allocate the
pcre2_general_context seems to have been initially based on a
misunderstanding of how PCREv2 memory allocation works.

The approach of creating a global context in grep_init() is just added
complexity for almost zero gain. On my system it's 24 bytes saved
per-thread. For comparison PCREv2 will then go on to allocate at least
a kilobyte for its own thread-local state.

As noted in 6d423dd542 (grep: don't redundantly compile throwaway
patterns under threading, 2017-05-25) the grep code is intentionally
not trying to micro-optimize allocations by e.g. sharing some PCREv2
structures globally, while making others thread-local.

So let's remove this special case and make all of them thread-local
again for simplicity. With this change we could move the
pcre2_{malloc,free} functions around to live closer to their current
use. I'm not doing that here to keep this change small, that cleanup
will be done in a follow-up commit.

See also the discussion in 94da9193a6 (grep: add support for PCRE v2,
2017-06-01) about thread safety, and Johannes's comments[1] to the
effect that we should be doing what this patch is doing.
