Vasili Revelas 5af7707a35 cli: fix process leak
If ripgrep was called in a way where the entire contents of a file
aren't read (like --files-with-matches, among other methods), and if the
file was read through an external process, then ripgrep would never reap
that process.

We fix this by introducing an explicit 'close' method, which we now call
when using decompression or preprocessor searches.

The implementation of 'close' is a little hokey. In particular, when we
close stdout, this usually results in a broken pipe, and, consequently,
a non-zero code returned once the child process is reaped. This is
"situation normal," so we invent a (hopefully portable) heuristic for
detecting it.

Fixes #1766, Closes #1767

ripgrep core

This is the core ripgrep crate. In particular, main.rs is where the main function lives.

Most of ripgrep core consists of two things:

  • The definition of the CLI interface, including docs for every flag.
  • Glue code that brings the grep-matcher, grep-regex, grep-searcher and grep-printer crates together to actually execute the search.

Currently, there are no plans to make ripgrep core available as an independent library. However, much of the heavy lifting of ripgrep is done via its constituent crates, which can be reused independent of ripgrep. Unfortunately, there is no guide or tutorial to teach folks how to do this yet.
