I have some fix-for-the-fix and was going to submit a v3 of this series,
but I think the more responsible thing to do at this point, especially
with various patches from Carlo that need to be integrated in one way or
another, is to back it out until the outstanding issues are addressed.

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind reverting just the two
patches at the tip of ab/no-kwset in "next"? I.e.

    b65abcafc7 ("grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string search", 2019-07-01)
    48de2a768c ("grep: remove the kwset optimization", 2019-07-01)

I believe the rest are all settled & haven't had any issues raised with
them, and those tests & preparatory fixes would be very useful to have
in "master" for any re-roll without needing to be distracted by those
changes.
