grep -w: forward to next possible position after rejected match

grep -w accepts matches between non-word characters, only.  If a match
from regexec() doesn't meet this criteria, grep continues its search
after the first character of that match.

We can be a bit smarter here and skip all positions that follow a word
character first, as they can't match our criteria.  This way we can
consume characters quite cheaply and don't need to special-case the
handling of the beginning of a line.

Here's a contrived example command on msysgit (best of five runs):

	$ time git grep -w ...... v1.6.1 >/dev/null

	real    0m1.611s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.015s

With the patch it's quite a bit faster:

	$ time git grep -w ...... v1.6.1 >/dev/null

	real    0m1.179s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.015s

More common search patterns will gain a lot less, but it's a nice clean
up anyway.
