exit: tweak exit status logic
This changes how ripgrep emit exit status codes. In particular, any error
that occurs while searching will now cause ripgrep to emit a `2` exit
code, where as it previously would emit either a `0` or a `1` code based
on whether it matched or not. That is, ripgrep would only emit a `2` exit
code for a catastrophic error.
This tweak includes additional logic that GNU grep adheres to, which seems
like good sense. Namely, if -q/--quiet is given, and an error occurs and
a match occurs, then ripgrep will emit a `0` exit code.
Closes #1159
