(compilation-mode-font-lock-keywords):

Remove highlighting of "Compilation started".  Highlight only
the word "finished" in "Compilation finished".  Add highlighting
of "interrupt", "killed", "terminated" and the exit code.
(compilation-start): Add newline after header.  Use exactly the
same time stamp format as the finishing message.
(compilation-mode-map): Add ellipsis to "Search Files (grep)".
