    grep: remove local option --only-files permanently
    
    The grep option --only-files exists only on DragonFly.  It was added in
    late 2005 by Simon Schubert as a quick and dirty way to search object
    directories using grep rather than a complex find command.  The issue
    was that some directory symlinks were created that produced recursive
    loops.  There wasn't a lot of support for the suggestion, but when the
    code was altered to allow non-directory symlinks to be followed by the
    --only-files option, the main objection was addressed.
    
    The problem is that this modification is making it difficult to maintain
    grep.  The code that it touches changes frequently, and its unmergable
    with grep 2.12.  The burden of maintaining this option is too much
    considering it may only have a single user.
    
    Discussed with: Dillon
    
    For the purposes of merging grep 2.12, the hammer bug fix is also being
    removed since it doesn't merge cleanly, but it will be restored after
    the merge.
