The configuration variables for git-grep are duplicated in
"Documentation/git-grep.txt" and "Documentation/config/grep.txt", which
gqcan make maintenance difficult. The first also contains a definition
that is not present in the latter (grep.fullName), and the latter
received a wording improvement that was not replicated in the former:
see 91028f765 ("grep: clarify what `grep.patternType=default` means",
2021-12-05).
To avoid such problems, unify the information in one file and include it
in the other.

-grep.column::
- If set to true, enable the `--column` option by default.

- `--fixed-strings`, or `--perl-regexp` option accordingly, while the
- value 'default' will return to the default matching behavior.
-
-grep.extendedRegexp::
- If set to true, enable `--extended-regexp` option by default. This
- option is ignored when the `grep.patternType` option is set to a value
- other than 'default'.

- Number of grep worker threads to use. If unset (or set to 0), Git will
- use as many threads as the number of logical cores available.
-
-grep.fullName::
