livepatch/klp-build: add grep-override function

Provide a custom grep() function to catch direct usage of the command.
Bare grep calls are generally incompatible with pipefail and
errexit behavior (where a failed match causes the script to exit).

Developers can still call grep via command grep if that behavior is
explicitly desired.
