This is a smaller v2 of the series to remove the kwset backend and
make pickaxe use PCRE v2[1].

That's not being done here yet. These are mostly small
refactoring/test fixes. The most significant work is a new xdiff
interface at the end of the series.

It's based on next where some preparatory work already landed[2].

Do you really mean [ref]?

I do not think we have that many patches whose title begin with
grep/pcre2 in 'next'.

In any case, I'd rather not to see things done directly on 'next';
targetting a selected few topics merged on top of 'master' would
not be bad, though.

It turns out that these patches textually depend on two topics in
'next', and both are to be merged to 'master' hopefully by the end
of the week, so perhaps that is a good time to queue this topic to
'seen' on top of the then-current master.

Thanks.
