grep: check stdin like other files
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/main.c (grepfile): Revamp tests for input files so that
standard input is tested like other files. For example, report
an error if standard input equals standard output.
Prefer open+fstat to stat+open if possible, as open+fstat is
usually a bit faster and avoids a race condition.
* tests/in-eq-out-infloop: Add tests for cases like
'grep pat <file >>file'.
