Add a die(...) to a default case for the switch statement selecting
between grep pattern types under --recurse-submodules.
Normally this would be caught by -Wswitch, but the grep_pattern_type
type is converted to int by going through parse_options(). Changing
the argument type passed to compile_submodule_options() won't work,
the value will just get coerced.
Thus catching this at runtime is the least worst option. This won't
ever trigger in practice, but if a new pattern type were to be added
this catches an otherwise silent bug during development.
See commit 0281e487fd ("grep: optionally recurse into submodules",
2016-12-16) for the initial addition of this code.
