When we read a color value either from a config file or from
the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it
from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no
boolean value.
This has some timing implications with respect to starting
a pager.
If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before
checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1)
will give us the right information, or we will properly
check for pager_in_use().
However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked
the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty,
then we will have already decided to use color. However, the
user may also have configured color.pager not to use color
with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off
color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color
variables were turned on (and there are many of them
throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated
after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on
the command line).
This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after
config and command line options are checked. This has
affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if
user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has
also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log'
early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24).
This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and
actually checking the configuration. The "use_color"
variables now have an additional possible value,
GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new
"want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and
cache the auto-color decision.

Usually this function figures out for itself whether stdout
is a tty. However, it has an extra parameter just to allow
git-config to override the auto-detection for its
--get-colorbool option.
Instead of an extra parameter, let's just use a global
variable. This makes calling easier in the common case, and
will make refactoring the colorbool code much simpler.

Introduce status_printf{,_ln,_more} wrapper functions around
color_vfprintf() which take care of adding "#" to the beginning of
status lines automatically. The semantics:
- status_printf() is just like color_fprintf() but it adds a "# "
at the beginning of each line of output;
- status_printf_ln() is a convenience function that additionally
adds "\n" at the end;
- status_printf_more() is a variant of status_printf() used to
continue lines that have already started. It suppresses the "#" at
the beginning of the first line.

This gives it the same behavior as we had prior to 1d28232
(status: show branchname with a configurable color).
To do this we need the concept of a "NIL" color, which is
provided by color.[ch]. The implementation is very simple;
in particular, there are no precautions taken against code
accidentally printing the NIL. This should be fine in
practice because:
1. You can't input a NIL color in the config, so it must
come from the in-code defaults. Which means it is up
the client code to handle the NILs it defines.
2. If we do ever print a NIL, it will be obvious what the
problem is, and the bug can be fixed.

This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:
* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}
* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
format:
- each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
in unified diff
- newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
tilde '~'
Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences. --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format. Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.
Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.

Add GIT_COLOR_BOLD_* macros to set both bold and the color in one
sequence. This saves two characters of output ("ESC [ m", minus ";")
and makes the code more readable.
Add the remaining GIT_COLOR_BG_* macros to make the list complete.
The white and black colors are not included since they look bad on most
terminals.

We have very featureful color-parsing routines which are
used for color.diff.* and other options. Let's make it
easier to use those routines from other parts of the code.
This patch adds a color_parse_mem() helper function which
takes a length-bounded string instead of a NUL-terminated
one. While the helper is only a few lines long, it is nice
to abstract this out so that:
- callers don't forget to free() the temporary buffer
- right now, it is implemented in terms of color_parse().
But it would be more efficient to reverse this and
implement color_parse in terms of color_parse_mem.
This also changes the error string for an invalid color not
to mention the word "config", since it is not always
appropriate (and when it is, the context is obvious since
the offending config variable is given).
Finally, while we are in the area, we clean up the parameter
names in the declaration of color_parse; the var and value
parameters were reversed from the actual implementation.

This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from
the configuration file.
git config --get-colorbool color.diff
inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if
color is to be used. It exits with status 1 otherwise.
If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the
command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command
line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this:
git config --get-colorbool color.diff true
When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output
if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or
"true"), and "false" otherwise.
