Install libpcre2-dev via package manager

What does this MR do?

Our installation documentation instructs users to install libpcre2 by manually compiling it. This has been required in the past as it wasn't available in some conservative distributions like Debian, but nowadays it is available. Most importantly, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 9 both have it in their repositories, which are the oldest versions which are still supported.

Drop these instructions in favor of installing libpcre2-dev via the package manager.
