Andrew, I guess you will not be updating your patch for our new shiny grep?

I ended up taking a fresh swing at this with the merged grep. To make this easier to implement, and to support it for fgrep and egrep, I went ahead and basically forced us down the path of using the regular expression processing more often instead of having disparate paths for handling multibyte data and other manual pattern methods. This simplifies the code slightly and makes it much easier to implement the -o option, though at the cost of making some cases more expensive. To help ameliorate that I also did #13040, which makes some of this a little more palatable.

I tested this with the updated grep test suite, test run below. This included a number of large additions to the test suite (such as actually testing egrep and fgrep) to better cover other flags that weren't present before. This includes things like -b. While I was able to compare ggrep with a number of items, there are differences in behavior, particularly with options like -b, which means that they aren't always identical; however, the set of matches is always the same.
