A similar change was discussed recently but was stuck with naming
of this option: it should be used by packages other than compile
(grep, diff, occur, ...), but neither `compilation-highlight' nor
`next-error-highlight' seems right when applied to non-compilation
buffers.  Perhaps `locus-highlight' or `match-highlight' are better
names.
