Include the "config/grep.txt" file in "git-grep.txt", instead of repeating an almost identical description of the "grep" configuration variables in two places. In a subsequent commit we'll amend this documentation, and can now do so in one place instead of two. Let's also add a short blurb at the top indicating that this is included documentation, so users won't think that they need to read the two versions and compare them. That wording is copy/pasted from the change I made in b6a8d09f6d8 (gc docs: include the "gc.*" section from "config" in "gc", 2019-04-07), eventually we'll want to include this via template, and indeed this change is extracted from a WIP series that fixes all these "CONFIGURATION" includes which does that. But doing that would require build system changes, so let's punt on it for now. There is no loss of information here that isn't shown in the addition to "grep.txt". This change was made by copying the contents of "git-grep.txt"'s version over the "grep.txt" version. Aside from the change "grep.txt" being made here the two were identical. This documentation started being copy/pasted around in b22520a37c8 (grep: allow -E and -n to be turned on by default via configuration, 2011-03-30). After that in e.g. 6453f7b3486 (grep: add grep.fullName config variable, 2014-03-17) they started drifting apart, with only grep.fullName being described in the command documentation. In 434e6e753fe (config.txt: move grep.* to a separate file, 2018-10-27) we gained the include, but didn't do this next step, let's do it now.
