Description
Following the update of grep in #8858, grep -hr no longer works as expected.
A recursive grep (grep -r) will show matched filenames by default, but it's expected that -h will disable this. That's true of the old /usr/bin/grep and of GNU grep, but not of the old xpg4 grep and hence our current grep, which displays matching filenames if both -h and -r are given
Looking at the code, recursion sets outfn to 1. In the old grep, this was considered along with hflag at the output stage, allowing -h to override. This is no longer the case.
