A few of the tests want to check that "git grep -P -E" will
override -P with -E, and vice versa. To do so, we use a
regex with "\x{..}", which is valid in PCRE but not defined
by POSIX (for basic or extended regular expressions).
However, POSIX declares quite a lot of syntax, including
"\x", as "undefined". That leaves implementations free to
extend the standard if they choose. At least one, musl libc,
implements "\x" in the same way as PCRE. Our tests check
that "-E" complains about "\x", which fails with musl.
We can fix this by finding some construct which behaves
reliably on both PCRE and POSIX, but differently in each
system.
One such construct is the use of backslash inside brackets.
In PCRE, "[\d]" interprets "\d" as it would outside the
brackets, matching a digit. Whereas in POSIX, the backslash
must be treated literally, and we match either it or a
literal "d". Moreover, implementations are not free to
change this according to POSIX, so we should be able to rely
on it.

I've tested this with glibc, but I wasn't able to do so with musl. The
two complications are:
1. Recent versions of git won't build with musl's regex at all,
because it doesn't support the non-standard REG_STARTEND that we
rely on since b7d36ffca (regex: use regexec_buf(), 2016-09-21).
So if applied on an older git, this patch should help, but newer
versions need NO_REGEX (to use the fallback glibc regex code)
either way, which would also make the problem go away.
Still, I think it's the right thing to do, since we are relying on
something that POSIX clearly leaves up to the implementation. It
may also help on other systems, or if musl ends up supporting
REG_STARTEND in the future.
2. I tried to cherry-pick to v2.7.x and test it with musl. Debian
ships with a "musl-gcc" wrapper, but it doesn't work out of the
box. Both zlib and pcre are compiled against glibc, so I'd have to
rebuild those, too. At which point I gave up and decided to just
let you test it on your musl-based system. :)
