When asked to enable libedit in a system that ALSO has readline,
the headers of the former would be found and used by the earlier.
While that would mostly work, some functions will be missing
definitions (which is forbidden in C99), so instead abort the
configuration and let the user provide for them.
Using cmake to configure and enable linking pcre2test with libedit,
could result in a broken build, because the header used was instead
pointing to readline.
In cases were the build will succeed (because both libraries were
available), it would likely show warnings, because several history
functions were being used without declarations, since readline
requires including "history.h" for those.
Additionally, since PCRE2_SUPPORT_READLINE is ON by default (unlike
configure), turning PCRE2_SUPPORT_LIBEDIT=ON, would require setting
that other option to OFF explicitly (even if readline wasn't available)
or the setup would abort.
Lastly, in systems with no default sysroot (ex: macOS), the use of
absolute paths for searching for libedit's readline.h could fail so
use instead relative PATH_SUFFIXES.
