[PATCH][RFC] grep: add color.grep.matchcontext and color.grep.matchselected

The config option color.grep.match can be used to specify the highlighting color for matching strings. Add the options matchContext and matchSelected to allow different colors to be specified for matching strings in the context vs. in selected lines. This is similar to the ms and mc specifiers in GNU grep's environment variable GREP_COLORS.

Only *very* lightly tested, and a test for t/is missing anyway.  Just
wanted to quickly show what I meant.  You'd set color.grep.matchContext=""
to turn off highlighting in context lines.  What do you think?
