I was initially puzzled by this statement, until I realized that the
removal of pcre_jit_exec() happens in the topic still in flight that
this patch builds on top of, namely 685668fa ("grep: stop using a
custom JIT stack with PCRE v1", 2019-07-26).

So the logic is that because we do no longer call pcre_jit_exec()
that weren't available between 8.20 and 8.32, these slightly older
versions can now do JIT just like the ones post 8.32?

Thanks.  Queued.
