grep-default-directory: preference variable

Default value: 0

When you press <Enter> without entering a file pattern for grep, it by default tries to search the same set of files as last time, even if you've subsequently changed directories, if you previously used a relative pattern like *.cpp. Set this variable to 1 if you want grep to instead reinterpret the file pattern you typed according to the current directory. Set it to 2 if you want Epsilon to reinterpret the previous file pattern according to the directory associated with the current buffer. Set it to 3 if you want Epsilon to interpret any relative pattern you type according to the directory associated with the current buffer.
