[Bug 1508049] [NEW] manpage for grep out of date

[Jon Forsberg]

Public bug reported:

grep(1) doesn't say anything about supporting \s to indicate whitespace but grep does support \s, both in basic, extended and perl mode, so \s is not the same as s, as you would expect from reading the manpage.
grep package version: 2.16-1

** Affects: grep (Ubuntu)
