"git grep -e '$pattern'", unlike the case where the patterns are read from
a file, did not treat individual lines in the given pattern argument as

* rs/maint-grep-F:
grep: stop leaking line strings with -f
grep: support newline separated pattern list
grep: factor out do_append_grep_pat()
grep: factor out create_grep_pat()
