[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/grep: fix egrep/fgrep shebang

egrep/fgrep are using autotools SHELL variable to execve the
grep executable with correct options, shell is defaulted to
/bin/bash which we usually don't have on target.

I tested manually changing the package to:

GREP_CONF_OPTS = SHELL=/bin/dash --exec-prefix=/

And this works. If /bin/sh is a link to /bin/zsh for example, it will
not work cause the configure is not able to run on zsh.
I suppose that changing the default /bin/sh to something not sh
compatible would break many other things.
