+- systemd.spec: clean some of the build deps up:

+  - libpcre is redundant with libpcre2 (only required by the full
+    build) and the mini variant needs none of them. Hence drop the ref
+    to libpcre.

+    features won't be disabled inadvertently in the future by making
+    the dep explicit.
