grep docs: describe --recurse-submodules further and improve formatting a bit
Clarify that --recurse-submodules cannot be used together with --untracked, and improve the formatting in a couple of places, to make it visually clear that those are the commands or the names of configuration options. While there, change a couple of "<tree>" placeholders to "_<tree>_", to help with an ongoing translation improvement effort.
