(which is #included by pcre2_tables.c). The data lists that used to be
duplicated are now held in a single common Python module.

19. On CHERI, and thus Arm's Morello prototype, pointers are represented as
hardware capabilities, which consist of both an integer address and additional
metadata, meaning they are twice the size of the platform's size_t type, i.e.
16 bytes on a 64-bit system. The ovector member of heapframe happens to only be
8 byte aligned, and so computing frame_size ended up with a multiple of 8 but
not 16. Whilst the first frame was always suitably aligned, this then
misaligned the frame that follows, resulting in an alignment fault when storing
a pointer to Fecode at the start of match. Patch to fix this issue by Jessica
Clarke PR#72.
