Do not use SSE2 code path when running under Valgrind.

By default, PCRE JIT uses SSE2-optimized code that makes Valgrind unhappy. It's
possible to compile PCRE with --enable-valgrind, but that disables
optimizations, even if not running under Valgrind.

Valgrind headers contain various macros that help to detect it at run time. I
propose to use RUNNING_ON_VALGRIND to disable SSE2-enabled code only when
running under Valgrind.
