[SECURITY] Bump pcre to 7.9

Heap-based buffer overflow in pcre_compile.c in the Perl-Compatible Regular
Expression (PCRE) library 7.7 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a regular
expression that begins with an option and contains multiple branches.

Bump package to version 7.9, remove redundant INSTALL_TARGET and remove
/usr/bin/pcre-config from target.
Should probably remove /usr/bin/pcretest and /usr/bin/pcregrep from target too
for a small size saving.
