Ignore binary files in code search to prevent Error 500

Leaving out the -I option in "git grep" would cause an Error 500 because the resulting line would include "Binary file X matches", which would cause the project search results to crash with the following error:

ActionView::Template::Error (wrong argument type nil (expected Regexp)):
    1: - blob = @project.repository.parse_search_result(blob)
    2: .blob-result
    3:   .file-holder
    4:     .file-title
