building 3.0.8 fails with --disable-pcre on opensuse/sles

[Stephan Lauffer]

Hello!

On a opensuse/sles cyrus-imapd-3.0.8 fails building if I use the
configure switch --disable-pcre during compiling lib/glob.c
I got errors about...:

... unknown type name 'regex_t'
... 'REG_EXTENDED' undeclared (first use in this function)
... unknown type name 'regmatch_t'

...and so on.

If we do not use --disable-pcre cyrus-imapd is building but not
useable, it is crashing very often. In the past we patched the pcre
of suse to get this fixed but I would not like to patch the distro
pcre package. With cyrus-imapd- 3.0.7 we could live with just
disabling pcre in cyrus and everything was fine.

...in the past we patched pcre with this simple patch...

https://sources.debian.org/patches/pcre3/2:8.39-11/pcreposix.patch/

...and the issue on cyrus was that one:
