[PATCH v4 05/19] grep: remove redundant `regflags &= ~REG_EXTENDED` assignments

Remove redundant assignments to the "regflags" variable. There are no code paths that have previously set the regflags to anything, and certainly not to `|= REG_EXTENDED`.

This code gave the impression that it had to reset its environment, but it doesn't. This dates back to the initial introduction of git-grep in commit 5010cb5fcc ("built-in "git grep"", 2006-04-30).
