egrep, fgrep: now obsolete
* NEWS: Mention this (see bug#49996).
* doc/Makefile.am (egrep.1 fgrep.1): Remove. All uses removed.
* doc/grep.in.1, doc/grep.texi (grep Programs):
Remove documentation for egrep, fgrep.
* doc/grep.texi (Usage): Add FAQ for egrep and fgrep.
* src/Makefile.am (shell_does_substrings): Substitute for ${0##*/},
not for ${0%/\*} (which was not being used anyway).
* src/egrep.sh: Issue an obsolescence warning.
* tests/fedora: Use "grep -F" instead of "fgrep" in diagnostics,
as this tests "grep -F" not "fgrep".
