Merge branch 'sb/blame-color'

"git blame" learns to unhighlight uninteresting metadata from the
originating commit on lines that are the same as the previous one,
and also paint lines in different colors depending on the age of
the commit.

* sb/blame-color:
  builtin/blame: add new coloring scheme config
  builtin/blame: highlight recently changed lines
  builtin/blame: dim uninteresting metadata lines

+color.blame.highlightRecent::
+	This can be used to color the metadata of a blame line depending

+This setting should be set to a comma-separated list of color and date settings,

+The metadata will be colored given the colors if the the line was introduced

+one year old are kept white, and lines introduced within the last month are
