grep: upgrade to regex-syntax 0.5
This update brings with it many bug fixes: * Better error messages are printed overall. We also include explicit call out for unsupported features like backreferences and look-around. * Regexes like `\s*{` no longer emit incomprehensible errors. * Unicode escape sequences, such as `\u{..}` are now supported. For the most part, this upgrade was done in a straight-forward way. We resist the urge to refactor the `grep` crate, in anticipation of it being rewritten anyway. Note that we removed the `--fixed-strings` suggestion whenever a regex syntax error occurs. In practice, I've found that it results in a lot of false positives, and I believe that its use is not as paramount now that regex parse errors are much more readable. Closes #268, Closes #395, Closes #702, Closes #853
