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.

.. 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.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
