Inspired by #466 it's a good idea to not have code using GNU Grep specific options like the convenient -P swithc, as systems like *BSDs and macOS comes with a simpler (bsd) grep not supporting these options.

Find all usages of grep and rewrite to use only standard tools.

Volunteer needed!

The remaining usages needs a volunteer can only be fixed by someone who runs Linux and uses Spotify native client. Please make a PR for above similar to #472 i.e. use simpler POSIX syntax for the regex instead of -P perl syntax, or a different tool like awk or such.

Remove now_playing support for Spotify though wine.

Instead of spending time fix old code, remove it as it is unlikely to still be
used. If you in fact use this, please ping me and I'll add it back :).

Relates to #467
