Indeed, "Binary file matches" is a very important message that
helps not to miss any matches in a text file that happens
to accidentally contain a NUL byte.  This saved me many times
while using rgrep.  'project-find-regexp' could do the same,
and show the same messages in the *xref* output buffer.

So to not mess with translations, a simpler solution would be
just to copy all unhandled messages from grep/ripgrep output
to the xref buffer as is.
