don't ignore errors when reading a directory
grep no longer silently suppresses errors when reading a directory
as if it were a text file. For example, "grep x ." now reports a
read error on most systems; formerly, it ignored the error.
Problem reported as an aside by Bob Proulx (Bug#10355).
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/main.c (grep, grepfile): Implement this. Simplify the code
considerably.
* src/system.h (is_EISDIR): Remove; no longer needed.
