This fixes #121454: the pcre extension should not change the global
allocation callbacks for pcre.

PCRE is used inside httpd and may be used by modules other than PHP too;
having these modules use PHP allocation functions doesn't seem at all
sensible, and could mess up the memory limit accounting presumably.

The cause of #121454 is that during a restart, libphp4.so is unloaded
from memory, but the global variable pcre_malloc is left pointing at
php_pcre_malloc; so when httpd uses pcre, it all goes boom.

Alternative fix might be to use a shutdown function in the extension
which does "pcre_malloc = malloc; pcre_free = free;" but I think it's
wiser just to stay well clear of the issue.
