Justification: breaks autopkgtests

Hi,

GNU grep 3.8 officially deprecates egrep and fgrep, and those two
commands now issue a deprecation message on stderr [1].

The autopkgtests of mp3guessenc use fgrep, and while they still work
fine, the extra messages on stderr are considered by default a failure,
and thus the tests are marked as such. While autopkgtest has a
"allow-stderr" restriction to not consider stderr output as failure in
case it is expected, I think the better solution here is simply to
switch away from fgrep to grep -F. This works fine with grep 3.8 and
any older version.

Patch attached for this.

Thanks,

Thanks for the patch.

I've uploaded a fixed version to Mentors.
