Colorize the filename, line number, and separator in git grep output, as GNU grep does. The colors are customizable through color.grep.<slot>. The default is to only color the separator (in cyan), since this gives the biggest legibility increase without overwhelming the user with colors. GNU grep also defaults cyan for the separator, but defaults to magenta for the filename and to green for the line number, as well.
There are a few differences from GNU grep:
1. With --name-only, GNU grep colors the filenames, but we do not. I do
not see any point to making everything the same color.
2. When a binary file matches without -a, GNU grep does not color the
<file> in "Binary file <file> matches", but we do. The point of
colorization is to highlight important parts, and the filename is an
important part.
Like GNU grep, if --null is given, the null separators are not colored.
For config.txt, use a a sub-list to describe the slots, rather than a single paragraph with parentheses, since this is much more readable.
