[PATCH 3/5] grep: stop modifying buffer in grep_source_1()

[Jeff King <peff@peff.net>]

We find the end of each matching line of a buffer, and then temporarily
write a NUL to turn it into a regular C string. But we don't need to do
so, because the only thing we do in the interim is pass the line and its
length (via an "eol" pointer) to match_line(). And that function should
only look at the bytes we passed it, whether it has a terminating NUL or
not.

We can drop this temporary write in order to simplify the code and make
it easier to use const buffers in more of grep.c.
