[PATCH v2 01/10] grep/pcre2: drop needless assignment + assert() on opt->pcre2

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.

Furthermore the "struct grep_opt" is (mostly) used for the options the user supplied, let's avoid the pattern of needlessly assigning to it.

With my recent removal of the PCREv1 backend in 7599730b7e2 (Remove support for v1 of the PCRE library, 2021-01-24) there's even less confusion around what we call where in these codepaths, which is one more reason to remove this.
