Factor the test for \0 in grep patterns into a function. Since commit
9eceddeec6 ("Use kwset in grep", 2011-08-21) any pattern containing a
\0 is considered fixed as regcomp() can't handle it.
This limitation was never documented, and other some regular
expression engines are capable of compiling a pattern containing a
\0. Factoring this out makes a subsequent change which does that
smaller.
See a previous commit in this series ("grep: add tests to fix blind
spots with \0 patterns", 2017-04-21) for further details & rationale.
