scripts/crosstool-NG.sh.in: patch regex to work with BSD grep

["Jason T. Masker" <masker at post dot harvard dot edu>]

BSD grep does not interpret a null alteration. It complains about an
empty sub-expression, e.g.:

$ grep --version && grep -E '^(# |)CT_' .config
grep (BSD grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD
grep: empty (sub)expression

This patch replaces the null alteration with a zero or once quantifier
which works with both BSD & GNU grep.

$ grep --version && grep -E '^(# )?CT_' .config
grep (BSD grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD
CT_CONFIGURE_has_xz=y
CT_CONFIGURE_has_svn=y
...
$ ggrep --version && ggrep -E '^(# )?CT_' .config
ggrep (GNU grep) 2.20
