tests: use grep -F instead of obsolescent fgrep

Testing on Fedora 38 failed with:
  fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using grep -F

The warning comes from
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=a9515624709865d480e3142fd959bccd1c9372d1
. For further anecdotal evidence of the change, see
https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Grep-3.8-Stop-egrep-fgrep .

grep -F is POSIX, but there is a risk that it doesn't work the same on all
platforms - especially older Unix versions. It should however always be
possible to put a GNU grep in $PATH before running the tests.
