[PATCH] grep: make show_line more portable

On OS X the printf specifier "%.0s" outputs the entire string instead of 0 characters as POSIX states.

In addition, for * width or precision printf expects an integer argument. On systems were regoff_t is 64-bit, unexpected results can occur.

To fix these, use if statements to catch 0 precisions and casts to convert regoff_t to int.
