The old _pcre_ucp_othercase() function was wrong in returning
NOTACHAR (0xffffffff) for characters that aren't changed by upper-
and lower-casing. This led to PCRE internally using incorrect (or
at least inefficient) character classes when using G_REGEX_CASELESS.
E.g. [Z-\x{100}] turned into:
[Z\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{39c}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{fffe}\x{178}z-\x{101}]
instead of the expected and efficient
[Z\x{39c}\x{178}z-\x{101}]
