grep: add -r/--[no-]recursive
Recognize -r and --recursive as synonyms for --max-depth=-1 for compatibility with GNU grep; it's still the default for git grep. This also adds --no-recursive as synonym for --max-depth=0 for free, which is welcome for completeness and consistency. Fix the description for --max-depth, while we're at it -- negative values other than -1 actually disable recursion, i.e. they are equivalent to --max-depth=0.
