[Bug 909109] [NEW] upgrade to >= 8.20, enable JIT support

[Brane F. Gračnar]

Public bug reported:

I would love to see pcre >= 8.20 in precise pangolin (12.04) because of
JIT support (requires  --enable-jit configure argument)


Nginx 1.1.x and other software that supports pcre jit flags can benefit from huge performance improvements using complex, precompiled regular expressions.

See http://sljit.sourceforge.net/pcre.html for more details.

Since precise will be LTS release, enterprise users will not be able to
take advantage of this exciting PCRE feature.
