This is the first leg on the long journey to a fully built-in git add -i 
(next up: parts 2 [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/171], 3
[https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/172], 4
[https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/173], 5
[https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/174], and 6
[https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/175]). Note: the latter PRs are
not necessarily up to date, and will be re-targeted to the appropriate
branches in https://github.com/gitster/git as soon as Junio picks them up.

This here patch series reflects the part that was submitted a couple of
times (see https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/103) during the
Outreachy project by Slavica Ðukic that continued the journey based on an
initial patch series by Daniel Ferreira.

It only implements the status and the help part, in the interest of making
the review remotely more reviewable.

As I am a heavy user of git add -p myself and use a patched version for
weeks already (it is so nice to not suffer over one second startup until the
MSYS2 Perl finally shows me anything, instead it feels instantaneous), I
integrated these patch series into Git for Windows' master already, as an
opt-in feature guarded by the config variable add.interactive.useBuiltin 
(and Git for Windows' installer is prepared to detect this version and offer
the option in the graphical user interface).

I had planned on submitting this before v2.22.0-rc0, but there was such a
backlog of builds from a big pushout that I had to wait ;-)

Changes since v2:

 * Rebased to master to avoid merge conflicts.
 * Renumbered the prefix-map test to avoid conflicts with two patch series
   that are currently in-flight in pu.

Changes since v1:

 * The config machinery was reworked completely, to not use a callback to 
   git_config(), but instead to query the config via the repo_config_get_*() 
   functions. This also prevents a future "Huh???" moment: the internal add
   --interactive API accepts a parameter of type struct repository *r, but
   the previous configuration did not use that to query the config (and
   could in the future be a repository other than the_repository).
   
   
 * As a consequence, the color sequences are no longer stored in file-local
   variables, but passed around via a struct.
   
   
 * Instead of using the magical constant -2 to quit the main loop, it is now
   defined as LIST_AND_CHOOSE_QUIT (and likewise, LIST_AND_CHOOSE_ERROR is
   defined as -1 and used where appropriate).
   
   
 * Improved the add_prefix_item() function by avoiding buffer overruns, not
   reusing the struct that is used for lookup also for adding the new item,
   and by strengthening the bug check.

FWIW the v2 round has not seen any objections...

Maybe pick it up in `pu` this time round?

Thanks,

I've sent comments on a few patches in the series; overall it was a
pleasant read.

Thanks.
