The default build should install bsdgrep(1) and grep(1), with the latter
being gnugrep(1). WITH_BSD_GREP flips this situation such that we have
gnugrep(1) and grep(1), with the latter being bsdgrep(1).
Changes to start installing the zgrep script out of usr.bin/grep
inadvertently altered the default build such that grep(1) was being
installed, and it was bsdgrep(1). Correct the typo.

GNU grep as in actually in base does not have any translations support
compiled in, so no functionnality loss.
We do support 193 locales in base, we will never catch up on that number of
translation with bsd grep.
Removing NLS support make bsd grep consistent with the other binaries in base
which are not translated, and also reduce a little bit the code.

It was an old TRE that had plenty of bugs and no performance gain over
regex(3). I disabled it by default in r323615, and there was some confusion
about what the knob does- likely due to poor naming on my part- to the tune
of "well, it sounds like it should speed things up" (mentioned by multiple
people).
To compound this, I have no intention of maintaining a second regex
implementation. If someone would like to step up and volunteer to maintain a
lean-and-mean implementation for grep, this is OK, but we have very few
volunteers to maintain even our primary regex implementation.
Compression support is now handled by an external script, remove it from the
bsdgrep(1) utility.
This removes the support for -Z -J -X and -M
Note: that it matches the changes in newer GNU grep

Import the wrapper script from zstdgrep (written by wiz@netbsd.org)
Modify it to support more than just zstd (adding support for gzip,
lzma, xz and bzip2)
Write a simple manpage dedicated for it.
Only use that new wrapper both for gnu grep and bsd grep
Next step will be removing code related to compression format from bsdgrep

Bugs have been found in the fastmatch implementation as used in bsdgrep.
Some have been fixed (r316495) while fixes for others are in review
(D10098).
In comparison with the fastmatch implementation, Kyle Evans found that:
- regex(3)'s performance with literal expressions offers a speed
improvement over fastmatch
- regex(3)'s performance, both with simple BREs and EREs, seems to be
comparable
The regex implementation was imported in r226035, and the commit message
reports:
This is a temporary solution until the whole regex library is
not replaced so that BSD grep development can continue and the
backported code gets some review and testing. This change only
improves scalability slightly, there is no big performance boost
yet but several minor bugs have been found and fixed.
Introduce a WITH_/WITHOUT_BSD_GREP_FASTMATCH knob to support testing
of both approaches.

xmalloc was a debug malloc implementation, but the x{malloc,calloc,free}
functions default to calling the malloc(3) equivalents.
Instead of relying on this malloc shim, we can devise better ways to debug
malloc issues that aren't misleading upon initial inspection. (I.e., using
jemalloc's various built-in debugging capabilities.)

This is required by our FORTIFY_SOURCE implementation as it
does more inlining. As a rule of thumb, FORTIFY_SOURCE doubles
the number of inlines except that in grep inlining
blows up for some reason.
Some users build FreeBSD as non-root in Perforce workspaces. By default,
Perforce sets files read-only unless they're explicitly being edited.
As a result, the -f argument must be used to cp in order to override the
read-only flag when copying source files to object directories. Bare use of
'cp' should be avoided in the future.
Update all current users of 'cp' in the src tree.

Deliverables: Small and clean code (1,4 KSLOC vs GNU's 8,5 KSLOC),
lower memory usage than GNU grep, GNU compatibility,
BSD license.
TODO: Performance is somewhat behind GNU grep but it is only
significant for bigger searches. The reason is complex, the
most important factor is that GNU grep uses lots of
optimizations to improve the speed of the regex library.
First, we need a modern regex library (practically by adopting
TRE), add support for GNU-style non-standard regexes and then
reevalute the performance issues and look for bottlenecks. In
the meantime, for those, who need better performance, it is
possible to build GNU grep by setting WITH_GNU_GREP.
