94da9193a6 (grep: add support for PCRE v2, 2017-06-01) uses the JIT fast path unless JIT support has not been compiled in the linked library.
Starting from 10.23 of PCRE2, pcre2grep ignores any errors from pcre2_jit_cpmpile as a workaround for their bug1749[1] and we should do too, so that the interpreter could be used as a fallback in cases where JIT was not available because of a security policy. To be conservative, we are restricting initially the error to the known error that would be returned in that case (and to be documented as such in a future release of PCRE) and printing a warning so that corrective action could be taken.
