determines which characters and/or character pairs are recognized as indicating
a newline in a pattern or subject string. The default can be overridden when a
pattern is compiled. The standard test files contain tests of various newline

recognized as a newline by default. Without special action the tests would fail
when PCRE2 is compiled with either CR or CRLF as the default newline.
