grep: enable all-files by default (BC) This patch deprecates the `--all-files` flag and make the all-files behaviour as default. In test-grep.t, I removed '--all-files' from every command where it was used, to reflect that all-files behaviour is default and there is no change even after the removal. And other changes in test files are because of changed behaviour. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7000 .. bc:: `hg grep` now searches working copy file contents by default. We recognize this is a significant change from past behavior, but surveys of large bodies of users indicated nobody used (and almost nobody understood) the previous no-flags behavior of `hg grep`. The new behavior aligns with the behavior most users expected (including hg's maintainers), which also happens to be the behavior of `git grep`. Given that the old behavior was confusing to the point of being unusable, we were comfortable changing this behavior.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
