what
This PR fixes the last broken regression test and adds the whole regression test workflow to GH CI.
why
The regression tests were almost finished, now I found another broken test. After fixed that I prepared a new workflow for GH CI, where we run these regression tests.
I switched the operation system to Ubuntu 24.04 (from 22.04). In Ubuntu 24.04 the old PCRE (libpcre3) is not installed by default, I had to add it explicitly.
I tried to follow the build matrix as it's in other workflows, but a complete regression test takes about 29 minutes - I think that's very slow. On my build machine (which is not a strong one) it takes about 6-7 minutes.
Unfortunately we can't fix this, the reason is that the operation of a test: each tests creates a config, start an Apache server with that config, send a request and check the output (files, response, etc).
I don't know if it's worth it.
