[PATCH v12 3/3] grep: fix an edge case concerning ascii patterns and UTF-8 data

If we attempt to grep non-ascii log message text with an ascii pattern, we run into the following issue:

    $ git log --color --author='.var.*Bjar' -1 origin/master | grep ^Author
    grep: (standard input): binary file matches

So, to fix this teach the grep code to mark the pattern as UTF-8 (even if the pattern is composed of only ascii characters), so long as the log output is encoded using UTF-8.
