Improve "git grep" flags handling

This allows any arbitrary flags to "grep", and knows about the few
special grep flags that take an argument too.

It also allows some flags for git-ls-files, although their usefulness
is questionable.

With this, something line

	git grep -w -1 pattern

works, without the script enumerating every possible flag.

[jc: this is the version Linus sent out after I showed him a
 barf-o-meter test version that avoids shell arrays.  He must
 have typed this version blindly, since he said:

    I'm not barfing, but that's probably because my brain just shut
    down and is desperately trying to gouge my eyes out with a spoon.

 I slightly fixed it to catch the remaining arguments meant to be
 given git-ls-files.]

[PATCH] Add "git grep" helper

Very convenient shorthand for

	git-ls-files [file-patterns] | xargs grep <pattern>

which I tend to do all the time.

Yes, it's trivial, but it's really nice. I can do

	git grep '\<some_variable\>' arch/i386 include/asm-i386

and it does exactly what you'd think it does. And since it just uses the
normal git-ls-files file patterns, you can do things like

	git grep something 'include/*.h'

and it will search all header files under the include/ subdirectory.
