[RESEND] t7812: test PCRE2 whitespace bug

Commit Message

Check if git grep works around the PCRE2 big fixed by their e0c6029
(Fix inifinite loop when a single byte newline is searched in JIT.,
2020-05-29), which affects version 10.35 and earlier.

Searching for leading whitespace also triggers the endless loop.
Set a one-second alarm to abort in case we do get hit by the bug, to
avoid having to wait forever for the test result.
