This patch deprecates the --all-files flag and make the all-files
behaviour as default.
In test-grep.t, I removed '--all-files' from every command where it was
used, to reflect that all-files behaviour is default and there is no
change even after the removal.
And other changes in test files are because of changed behaviour.

The docstring needs a significant update too. Would you like me to suggest something?
How about something like this?

Wait, I found some problems, here is an amendment:

No longer by default! Or perhaps at all.
