Boone Gorges 19df309491 Fix preg_match_all() syntax in PCRE benchmark test util.
In versions of PHP earlier than 5.4, the `$matches` parameter was required.
Excluding it here meant that PCRE benchmarking tests were erroring on older
versions of PHP without cleaning up the PCRE ini settings, causing various
problems on later tests.

Props miqrogroove, dd32, boonebgorges.

And to the cosmic forces that cause bugs like this. The best part of waking up
is diagnosing leakage between automated tests.

See #34121.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
