Fix PCRE2_FIRSTLINE bug when a pattern match starts with the first code unit of

a newline sequence.

ChangeLog

+25. When PCRE2_FIRSTLINE without PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE was used in non-JIT
+matching (both pcre2_match() and pcre2_dfa_match()) and the matched string
+started with the first code unit of a newline sequence, matching failed because
+the search for the first code unit stopped before rather than after the first
+code unit of a newline in the subject string.
