grep: remove redundant REG_NEWLINE when compiling fixed regex

Remove the redundant REG_NEWLINE regcomp() flag from the code that
compiles a fixed-string regular-expression.

The REG_NEWLINE causes metacharacters such as "." to match a newline,
since the basic_regex_quote_buf() function being called here escapes
all metacharacters using REG_NEWLINE is confusing and redundant.

The use of this flag was introduced as an unintended emergent property
of 793dc67 ("grep/icase: avoid kwsset when -F is specified",
2016-06-25).

That change amended the existing regflags, which were initialized to
REG_NEWLINE in init_grep_defaults() assuming a subsequent non-fixed
regcomp().

Manual testing reveals that this was always redundant, since no flags
of any use were inherited from opt->regflags even back
then. 793dc67 passes all tests with this on top:

    diff --git a/grep.c b/grep.c
    index 627ae3e..89e84ed7fd 100644
    --- a/grep.c

    +       regflags = 0;
            if (opt->ignore_case)

Since this isn't used for anything and never was, remove it to reduce
confusion when reading this code.
