Use "grep -E" not "egrep".

"egrep" has never been in POSIX; the standard way to access this
functionality is "grep -E". Recent versions of GNU grep have
started to warn about this, so stop using "egrep".

This could be back-patched, but I see little need to do so
because the affected places are not code that runs during
normal builds. (Perhaps src/backend/port/aix/mkldexport.sh
is an exception, but let's wait to see if any AIX users
complain before touching that.)
