Rename regex search tool to grep and accept an include glob pattern (#29100)

This PR renames the `regex_search` tool to `grep` because I think it
conveys more meaning to the model, the idea of searching the filesystem
with a regular expression. It's also one word and the model seems to be
using it effectively after some additional prompt tuning.

It also takes an include pattern to filter on the specific files we try
to search. I'd like to encourage the model to scope its searches more
aggressively, as in my testing, I'm only seeing it filter on file
extension.

## Searching and Reading
If you are unsure about the answer to the user's request or how to satiate their request, you should gather more information.
This can be done with additional tool calls, asking clarifying questions, etc.
For example, if you've performed a semantic search, and the results may not fully answer the user's request, or merit gathering more information, feel free to call more tools. Similarly, if you've performed an edit that may partially
satiate the user's query, but you're not confident, gather more information or use more tools before ending your turn.

If appropriate, use tool calls to explore the current project, which contains the following root directories:
{{#each worktrees}}
- `{{root_name}}`
{{/each}}
- When providing paths to tools, the path should always begin with a path that starts with a project root directory listed above.
- When looking for symbols in the project, prefer the `grep` tool.
- As you learn about the structure of the project, use that information to scope `grep` searches to targeted subtrees of the project.
