search tool for Emacs based on Ripgrep

Rg.el is a search package based on Ripgrep.  It allows one to do interactive
searches, automatic searches based on the editing context, plus adding
additional query layers to refine search results.

Transitioning from rgrep to rg should be painless for anyone familiar with
rgrep.

Unlike rgrep, ripgrep is *fast*!  In some cases ripgrep is even faster than
The Silver Searcher.  In other words, it excells for large source code
repositories.

This ticket was actually requested by Nicholas, who's been working on
packaging. I'm not sure how to make that an ITP for him, so I filed an
RFP instead:

https://salsa.debian.org/sten/rg-el

Note that there are a *lot* of wrappers around ripgrep out
there. Another commonly used one is deadgrep, which has a list of
alternatives:

I'm not actually sure why Nicholas picked rg.el.

Thank you Antoine, much appreciated!

Deadgrep would be my second choice (and is the second most popular on
MELPA), but also looks excellent :-)  Micah, I've CCed you since Antoine
mentioned you use Deadgrep, and because I'd be happy to answer any
questions you have about the process of debianising it.  I'm on holidays
so am working on this RFP in 30min sprints with a fairly scientific
method.  If you think the process might be interesting content for
Debian Planet, please let me know :-)

I can update this bug with my rationale (from IRC) if you think it would
be useful to others.  P.S. I'm also curious if you'll end up enjoying
rg.el, or if you'll find it too fancy new school thing ;-)

Cheers,
Nicholas

That would be interesting, for sure, but no pressure. :)

That, however, seems like an important thing to document here, for
posterity.
