Merge branch 'jk/ansi-color'

The output coloring scheme learned two new attributes, italic and
strike, in addition to existing bold, reverse, etc.

* jk/ansi-color:
  color: support strike-through attribute
  color: support "italic" attribute
  color: allow "no-" for negating attributes
  color: refactor parse_attr
  add skip_prefix_mem helper
  doc: refactor description of color format
  color: fix max-size comment

-Colors (foreground and background) may also be given as numbers between
-0 and 255; these use ANSI 256-color mode (but note that not all
-terminals may support this).  If your terminal supports it, you may also
-specify 24-bit RGB values as hex, like `#ff0ab3`.

+`blue`, `magenta`, `cyan` and `white`.  The first color given is the
+foreground; the second is the background.

-The attributes are meant to be reset at the beginning of each item
-in the colored output, so setting color.decorate.branch to `black`
-will paint that branch name in a plain `black`, even if the previous
-thing on the same output line (e.g. opening parenthesis before the
-list of branch names in `log --decorate` output) is set to be
-painted with `bold` or some other attribute.

+The position of any attributes with respect to the colors
+(before, after, or in between), doesn't matter. Specific attributes may
+be turned off by prefixing them with `no` or `no-` (e.g., `noreverse`,
+`no-ul`, etc).

+opening parenthesis before the list of branch names in `log --decorate`
+output) is set to be painted with `bold` or some other attribute.
+However, custom log formats may do more complicated and layered
+coloring, and the negated forms may be useful there.
