This patch does a couple of things:
* Makes commit/author/committer search case insensitive
To be consistent with the grep search; I see no convincing
reason for the search to be case sensitive, and you might
get in trouble especially with contributors e.g. from Japan
or France where they sometimes like to uppercase their last
name.
* Makes grep search by default grep for fixed strings
Since we will have a checkbox.
* Introduces 're' checkbox that enables POSIX extended regexp searches
This works for all the search types. The idea comes from Jakub.
It does not make much sense (and is not easy at all) to untangle most of
these changes from each other, thus they all go in a single patch.
