grep: respect diff attributes for binary-ness
There is currently no way for users to tell git-grep that a particular path is or is not a binary file; instead, grep always relies on its auto-detection (or the user specifying "-a" to treat all binary-looking files like text). This patch teaches git-grep to use the same attribute lookup that is used by git-diff. We could add a new "grep" flag, but that is unnecessarily complex and unlikely to be useful. Despite the name, the "-diff" attribute (or "diff=foo" and the associated diff.foo.binary config option) are really about describing the contents of the path. It's simply historical that diff was the only thing that cared about these attributes in the past. And if this simple approach turns out to be insufficient, we still have a backwards-compatible path forward: we can add a separate "grep" attribute, and fall back to respecting "diff" if it is unset.
