macOS provides a PCRE2 library in base that is not usable and not
configured properly, as it installs a pkgconf module that
points to a non existent pcre2.h header in /usr/local/include.

Detect that case and allow a fallback to a wrapped submodule
if the feature is enabled and that is possible, or print a
warning and disable the feature if the feature was set to "auto".
which is the new default.
