devtools: check for supported git version

The script devtools/parse-flow-support.sh uses the git-grep
option (-o, --only-matching), which is only supported from
git version 2.19 and onwards.[1]

The script now exits early providing a clear message to the user
about the required git version instead of showing the following
error messages multiple times:
  error: unknown switch `o'
  usage: git grep [<options>] [-e] <pattern> [<rev>...] [[--] <path>...]
  [..]
