C preprocessor works on tokens. Not on substrings. It does not turn
pcre2_regcomp() into pcre2_pcre2_regcomp(). The preprocessor will see
"pcre2_regcomp" token, not "pcre2" and "regcomp" tokens.

My patch uses #undef in the pcre2posix.c compilation unit. Not in the
pcre2posix.h header file. The reason for the #undef is to prevent preprocessor
from rewriting regcomp() definition to pcre2_regcomp() in the pcre2posix.c. Two
reasons: We want providing the unprefixed functions and we cannot/should not
have two prefixed definitions.
