grep: prepare for new header field filter

grep supports only author and committer headers, which have the same
special treatment that later headers may or may not have. Check for
field type and only strip_timestamp() when the field is either author
or committer.

GREP_HEADER_FIELD_MAX is put in the grep_header_field enum to be
calculated automatically, correctly, as long as it's at the end of the
enum.
