Add the new flag "fixed" to struct grep_pat and set it if the pattern
is doesn't contain any regex control characters in addition to if the
flag -F/--fixed-strings was specified.
This gives a nice speed up on msysgit, where regexec() seems to be
extra slow. Before (best of five runs):
$ time git grep grep v1.6.1 >/dev/null
real 0m0.552s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
$ time git grep -F grep v1.6.1 >/dev/null
real 0m0.170s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.015s
With the patch:
$ time git grep grep v1.6.1 >/dev/null
real 0m0.173s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
The difference is much smaller on Linux, but still measurable.

Here's a trivial patch that adds "-z" and "--null" options to "git
grep". It was discussed on the mailing-list that git's "-z"
convention should be used instead of GNU grep's "-Z".
So things like 'git grep -l -z "$FOO" | xargs -0 sed -i "s/$FOO/$BOO/"'
do work now.

When we tried to find commits done by AUTHOR, the first implementation
tried to pattern match a line with "^author .*AUTHOR", which later was
enhanced to strip leading caret and look for "^author AUTHOR" when the
search pattern was anchored at the left end (i.e. --author="^AUTHOR").
This had a few problems:
* When looking for fixed strings (e.g. "git log -F --author=x --grep=y"),
the regexp internally used "^author .*x" would never match anything;
* To match at the end (e.g. "git log --author='google.com>$'"), the
generated regexp has to also match the trailing timestamp part the
commit header lines have. Also, in order to determine if the '$' at
the end means "match at the end of the line" or just a literal dollar
sign (probably backslash-quoted), we would need to parse the regexp
ourselves.
An earlier alternative tried to make sure that a line matches "^author "
(to limit by field name) and the user supplied pattern at the same time.
While it solved the -F problem by introducing a special override for
matching the "^author ", it did not solve the trailing timestamp nor tail
match problem. It also would have matched every commit if --author=author
was asked for, not because the author's email part had this string, but
because every commit header line that talks about the author begins with
that field name, regardleses of who wrote it.
Instead of piling more hacks on top of hacks, this rethinks the grep
machinery that is used to look for strings in the commit header, and makes
sure that (1) field name matches literally at the beginning of the line,
followed by a SP, and (2) the user supplied pattern is matched against the
remainder of the line, excluding the trailing timestamp data.

This lets you say:
git grep --all-match -e A -e B -e C
to find lines that match A or B or C but limit the matches from
the files that have all of A, B and C.
This is different from
git grep -e A --and -e B --and -e C
in that the latter looks for a single line that has all of these
at the same time.

This further updates the built-in grep engine so that we can say
something like "this pattern should match only in head". This
can be used to simplify grepping in the log messages.

This makes three functions and associated option structures from
builtin-grep available from other parts of the system.
* options to drive built-in grep engine is stored in struct
grep_opt;
* pattern strings and extended grep expressions are added to
struct grep_opt with append_grep_pattern();
* when finished calling append_grep_pattern(), call
compile_grep_patterns() to prepare for execution;
* call grep_buffer() to find matches in the in-core buffer.
This also adds an internal option "status_only" to grep_opt,
which suppresses any output from grep_buffer(). Callers of the
function as library can use it to check if there is a match
without producing any output.
