libgamin was last released in 2007 and is dead
[upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gamin). Distributions may
still ship it (although Fedora no longer does), but we want people to
use inotify on Linux since it’s actively supported.
BSDs use kqueue. Windows uses win32filemonitor.
FAM might still be used on some commercial Unix distributions, but there
are no contributors from those distributions, and certainly no CI for
them to prevent regressions.

Fixes: #2614
This is what’s available in the new Debian Stable, so we can expect it
to be available pretty much everywhere.
Subsequent commits will clean up old workarounds.

The package naming is confusing. It turns out we’ve been installing the
wrong libpcre version for ages, but haven’t noticed because the correct
version has previously been installed on the system by default.
It seems that Debian Bullseye doesn’t have the old libpcre installed by
default, so now we have to fix this package name and make sure it’s
installed in the CI images. Building it as a subproject is a pain.
