bug#30643: Mention . won't match illegal characters

2020-09-22 Thread Paul Eggert
$ man grep says The period . matches any single character. OK but it should also mention that illegal characters for the current locale will never be matched by ".". This has been done, by adding "It is unspecified whether it matches an encoding error" as part of a fix for Bug#30643.
