Color support for "git-add -i"

This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to
use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it
simpler and more consistent with commands written in C.

A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.

A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.

For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text.  $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

When false (or `never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use
colors only when the output is to the terminal. Defaults to false.
color.interactive.<slot>::
Use customized color for `git add --interactive`
output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, or `help`, for
three distinct types of normal output from interactive
programs. The values of these variables may be specified as
