Unfortunately the total number of lines is not available.
There is even problems with getting the right number of matches.
When grep doesn't highlight matches, we can't count them.

Another problem is that grep matches to be printed at the end of the
grep buffer can't be counted in grep-regexp-alist because it is
based on font-lock which is invoked at unpredictable times
when grep process is already finished.  This leaves only one way
to count matches in grep-filter in this patch.

For the same reason, printing the number of compilation errors at
the end of the compilation buffer can't be implemented for bug#13417.
