John Cai requested to merge jc-docs-for-git-pcre2 into master

What does this MR do?

addresses: gitaly#1214 (closed)

We are making libpcre2 a hard requirement for git. Most of the distro provided git ship with libpcre2, but in the case that it doesn't, we want to provide instructions on how to build it from source. (gitaly#1214 (comment 75857692))
