[PATCH v5 08/10] grep/pcre: support utf-8

In the previous change in this function, we add locale support for single-byte encodings only. It looks like pcre only supports utf-* as multibyte encodings, the others are left in the cold (which is fine).

We need to enable PCRE_UTF8 so pcre can find character boundary correctly. It's needed for case folding (when --ignore-case is used) or '*', '+' or similar syntax is used.

The "has_non_ascii()" check is to be on the conservative side. If there's non-ascii in the pattern, the searched content could still be in utf-8, but we can treat it just like a byte stream and everything should work. If we force utf-8 based on locale only and pcre validates utf-8 and the file content is in non-utf8 encoding, things break.
