PCRE is end of life

[arkhaix]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm working on tooling to build a project based on c-server-sdk, and while figuring out how to supply the PCRE dependency, I came across its end-of-life announcement on pcre.org.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to see this project use PCRE2 instead since it is actively maintained.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm moving forward with PCRE v8.45 regardless for now. I'm just filing this as a heads up since it sounds like the upgrade will eventually become a requirement after somebody discovers a vulnerability in 8.45 someday.
