1. log: add option to search for header or body …

   Summary:
   This change adds a new option to `git log` that allows users to search
   for commits that match either the author or the commit message. This is
   useful for finding commits that were either authored or co-authored by a
   specific person.
   
   Currently, the best way to find a commit either authored or co-authored
   by a specific person is to use
   
   ```sh
   $ echo \
       $(git log --author=Torvalds --pretty="%cd,%H\n" --date=iso-strict) \
       $(git log --grep="Co-authored-by: .*Torvalds" --pretty="%cd,%H\n" --date=iso-strict) \
   | sort -n --reverse \
   | awk -F, '{print $2}' \
   | tr '\n' '\t' \
   | xargs git show --stat --stdin
   ```
   
   This is a bit of a pain, so this change adds a new option to `git log`.
   Now finding either authors or co-authors is as simple as
   
   ```sh
   $ git log --author=Torvalds --grep=Torvalds --match-header-or-grep
   ```
   
   Test plan:
   1. create commit authored by A and co-authored-by B
   2. create commit authored by B
   3. run
   ```sh
   $ git log --author=B --grep="Co-authored-by: B" --match-header-or-grep
   ```
   4. expect to see both commits
