Andrew Gallant 4846d63539 grep-cli: introduce new grep-cli crate
This commit moves a lot of "utility" code from ripgrep core into
grep-cli. Any one of these things might not be worth creating a new
crate, but combining everything together results in a fair number of a
convenience routines that make up a decent sized crate.

There is potentially more we could move into the crate, but much of what
remains in ripgrep core is almost entirely dealing with the number of
flags we support.

In the course of doing moving things to the grep-cli crate, we clean up
a lot of gunk and improve failure modes in a number of cases. In
particular, we've fixed a bug where other processes could deadlock if
they write too much to stderr.

Fixes #990

grep-cli
--------
A utility library that provides common routines desired in search oriented
command line applications. This includes, but is not limited to, parsing hex
escapes, detecting whether stdin is readable and more. To the extent possible,
this crate strives for compatibility across Windows, macOS and Linux.

### Documentation
[https://docs.rs/grep-cli](https://docs.rs/grep-cli)
**NOTE:** You probably don't want to use this crate directly. Instead, you
should prefer the facade defined in the
[`grep`](https://docs.rs/grep)
crate.
### Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
grep-cli = "0.1"
```
and this to your crate root:
```rust
extern crate grep_cli;
```
