It is not only laziness that we simply spawn `git diff -p --cached`
here: this command needs to use the pager, and the pager needs to exit
when the diff is done. Currently we do not have any way to make that
happen if we run the diff in-process. So let's just spawn.

Well, it is not a full implementation yet. In the interest of making
this easy to review (and easy to keep bugs out), we still hand off to
the Perl script to do the actual work.
The `patch` functionality actually makes up for more than half of the
1,800+ lines of `git-add--interactive.perl`. It will be ported from Perl
to C incrementally, later.

This is yet another command, ported to C. It builds nicely on the
support functions introduced for other commands, with the notable
difference that only names are displayed for untracked files, no
file type or diff summary.

This is a relatively straight-forward port from the Perl version, with
the notable exception that we imitate `git reset -- <paths>` in the C
version rather than the convoluted `git ls-tree HEAD -- <paths> | git
update-index --index-info` followed by `git update-index --force-remove
-- <paths>` for the missed ones.
While at it, we fix the pretty obvious bug where the `revert` command
offers to unstage files that do not have staged changes.

After `status` and `help`, it is now turn to port the `update` command
to C, the second command that is shown in the main loop menu of `git add
-i`.
This `git add -i` command is the first one which lets the user choose a
subset of a list of files, and as such, this patch lays the groundwork
for the other commands of that category:
- It teaches the `print_file_item()` function to show a unique prefix
if we found any (the code to find it had been added already in the
previous patch where we colored the unique prefixes of the main loop
commands, but that patch uses the `print_command_item()` function to
display the menu items).
- This patch also adds the help text that is shown when the user input
to select items from the shown list could not be parsed.
- As `get_modified_files()` clears the list of files, it now has to take
care of clearing the _full_ `prefix_item_list` lest the `sorted` and
`selected` fields go stale and inconsistent.

The `upgrade`, `revert` and `add-untracked` commands allow selecting
multiple entries. Let's extend the `list_and_choose()` function to
accommodate those use cases.

In the `update` command of `git add -i`, we are primarily interested in the
list of modified files that have worktree (i.e. unstaged) changes.
At the same time, we need to determine _also_ the staged changes, to be
able to produce the full added/deleted information.
The Perl script version of `git add -i` has a parameter of the
`list_modified()` function for that matter. In C, we can be a lot more
precise, using an `enum`.
The C implementation of the filter also has an easier time to avoid
unnecessary work, simply by using an adaptive order of the `diff-index`
and `diff-files` phases, and then skipping files in the second phase
when they have not been seen in the first phase.

This imitates the code to show the help text from the Perl script
`git-add--interactive.perl` in the built-in version.
To make sure that it renders exactly like the Perl version of `git add
-i`, we also add a test case for that to `t3701-add-interactive.sh`.

Just like in the Perl script `git-add--interactive.perl`, for each
command a unique prefix is determined (if there exists any within the
given parameters), and shown in the list, and accepted as a shortcut for
the command.
To determine the unique prefixes, as well as to look up the command in
question, we use a copy of the list and sort it.
While this might seem like overkill for a single command, it will make
much more sense when all the commands are implemented, and when we reuse
the same logic to present a list of files to edit, with convenient
unique prefixes.
At the start of the development of this patch series, a dedicated data
structure was introduced that imitated the Trie that the Perl version
implements. However, this was deemed overkill, and we now simply sort
the list before determining the length of the unique prefixes by looking
at each item's neighbor. As a bonus, we now use the same sorted list to
perform a binary search using the user-provided prefix as search key.

The reason why we did not start with the main loop to begin with is that
it is the first user of `list_and_choose()`, which uses the `list()`
function that we conveniently introduced for use by the `status`
command.
Apart from the "and choose" part, there are more differences between the
way the `status` command calls the `list_and_choose()` function in the
Perl version of `git add -i` compared to the other callers of said
function. The most important ones:
- The list is not only shown, but the user is also asked to make a
choice, possibly selecting multiple entries.
- The list of items is prefixed with a marker indicating what items have
been selected, if multi-selection is allowed.
- Initially, for each item a unique prefix (if there exists any within
the given parameters) is determined, and shown in the list, and
accepted as a shortcut for the selection.
These features will be implemented later, except the part where the user
can choose a command. At this stage, though, the built-in `git add -i`
still only supports the `status` command, with the remaining commands to
follow over the course of the next commits.
In addition, we also modify `list()` to support displaying the commands
in columns, even if there is currently only one.
The Perl script `git-add--interactive.perl` mixed the purposes of the
"list" and the "and choose" part into the same function. In the C
version, we will keep them separate instead, calling the `list()`
function from the `list_and_choose()` function.
Note that we only have a prompt ending in a single ">" at this stage;
later commits will add commands that display a double ">>" to indicate
that the user is in a different loop than the main one.

For simplicity, we only implemented the `status` command without colors.
This patch starts adding color, matching what the Perl script
`git-add--interactive.perl` does.

This implements the `status` command of `git add -i`. The data
structures introduced in this commit will be extended later, as needed.
At this point, we re-implement only part of the `list_and_choose()`
function of the Perl script `git-add--interactive.perl` and call it
`list()`. It does not yet color anything, or do columns, or allow user
input.
Over the course of the next commits, we will introduce a
`list_and_choose()` function that uses `list()` to display the list of
options and let the user choose one or more of the displayed items. This
will be used to implement the main loop of the built-in `git add -i`, at
which point the new `status` command can actually be used.

This is hardly the first conversion of a Git command that is implemented
as a script to a built-in. So far, the most successful strategy for such
conversions has been to add a built-in helper and call that for more and
more functionality from the script, as more and more parts are
converted.
With the interactive add, we choose a different strategy. The sole
reason for this is that on Windows (where such a conversion has the most
benefits in terms of speed and robustness) we face the very specific
problem that a `system()` call in Perl seems to close `stdin` in the
parent process when the spawned process consumes even one character from
`stdin`. And that just does not work for us here, as it would stop the
main loop as soon as any interactive command was performed by the
helper. Which is almost all of the commands in `git add -i`.
It is almost as if Perl told us once again that it does not want us to
use it on Windows.
Instead, we follow the opposite route where we start with a bare-bones
version of the built-in interactive add, guarded by the new
`add.interactive.useBuiltin` config variable, and then add more and more
functionality to it, until it is feature complete.
At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it
cannot do anything yet ;-)
