NEW Improves integration with dired-mode

- Improves `ag-dired-regexp` to accept `match-contents-p` flag, under
  which the matching is performed at the file contents level instead
  of the file full path (using -l flag instead of f-g).
- Adds `ag-contents-dired` and `ag-contents-dired-regexp` as shortcuts
  for openning dired on files with contents matching some pattern.
- Adds `ag-on-marked-files` and `ag-regexp-on-marked-files` as
  shortcuts to call `ag` on the files currently selected for the dired
  buffer.
