Drop an assignment added in b65abcafc7a (grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string search, 2019-07-01) and the overly cautious assert() I added in 94da9193a6e (grep: add support for PCRE v2, 2017-06-01).

There was never a good reason for this, it's just a relic from when I initially wrote the PCREv2 support. We're not going to have confusion about compile_pcre2_pattern() being called when it shouldn't just because we forgot to cargo-cult this opt->pcre2 option, and "opt" is (mostly) used for the options the user supplied, let's avoid the pattern of needlessly assigning to it.

With my in-flight removal of PCREv1 [1] ("Remove support for v1 of the PCRE library", 2021-01-24) there'll be even less confusion around what we call where in these codepaths, which is one more reason to remove this.
