Replying to myself: upgrading to 8.32 actually causes failures in
QString tests -- an expected failure passes (line 1165 in
tst_qstring.cpp), as case folding support was finally added to PCRE.
Although distributions probably haven't started shipping 8.32 yet, I
don't like that very much... ideas? I only see:

1. skip the flaky data lines altogether
2. bump the minimum version required by Qt to 8.32 right now (and
remove the expected failures from the tests)
3. make tst_qstring link to pcre and conditionally add the testlines
depending on the PCRE version (!)
