[PATCH v2] gitk: Highlight commit/comment text only if search type is "containing:".

Highlighting the text in the commit list and comments that matches the current find string is useful when the search type is "containing:". When the search type is "touching paths:" or "adding/removing string:" the highlight doesn't help so this patch suppresses the highlighting for those search types.

 Patch same as before - just made the commit message a bit clearer.
