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
