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.

git_config() only had a function parameter, but no callback data
parameter. This assumes that all callback functions only modify
global variables.
With this patch, every callback gets a void * parameter, and it is hoped
that this will help the libification effort.

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.

Still defaults to stdout, but you can now override wt_status.fp after
calling wt_status_prepare().
