A simplification and code deletion of the overly complex setup for the grep API, no behavior changes. For v5 see: https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v5-0.7-00000000000-20211222T025214Z-avarab@gmail.com

Changes since v4:
 * As Junio pointed out there were behavior changes in the v4. I
   integrated/squashed the change he added to the
   gitster/ab/grep-patterntype branch to add the tests, and a fixed
   7/7 correctly handles the case of a flip-flopping
   grep.extendedRegexp now.
 * Some commit message additions/rewording that I hope will address
   relevant comments from Junio.

         Let's also test what happens when we have a sequence of "extended"
         followed by "default" and "fixed". In that case the "fixed" should
    -    prevail.
