grep: add option to show whole function as context

Add a new option, -W, to show the whole surrounding function of a match.

It uses the same regular expressions as -p and diff to find the beginning
of sections.

Currently it will not display comments in front of a function, but those
that are following one.  Despite this shortcoming it is already useful,
e.g. to simply see a more complete applicable context or to extract whole
functions.
