Recent change to paginate "git diff" by default is often irritating
when you do not have any change (or very small change) in your working
tree.

On one of my systems, the linker is not intelligent enough to link with
pager.o (in libgit.a) when only the variable pager_in_use is needed. The
consequence is that the linker complains about an undefined variable. So,
put the variable into environment.o, where it is linked always.

This allows you to say:
git -p diff v2.6.16-rc5..
and the command pipes the output of any git command to your pager.
[jc: this resurrects a month old RFC patch with improvement
suggested by Linus to call it --paginate instead of --less.]

This patch is a slightly adjusted version of Junio's patch:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0604/19354.html
However, instead of using a config variable, this patch makes it available
as a diff option.

When $PAGER is set to 'less -i', we used to fail because we
assumed the $PAGER is a command and simply exec'ed it.
Try exec first, and then run it through shell if it fails. This
allows even funkier PAGERs like these ;-):
PAGER='sed -e "s/^/`date`: /" | more'
PAGER='contrib/colordiff.perl | less -RS'

Unless the user has a nonstandard "cat" command that does not
meow like a cat, this should not break anything and would save an
extra pipe.

This skips an extra pipe, and helps debugging tremendously.
[jc: PAGER=cat is a questionable hack and should be done as a separate
patch. ]

This introduces the new function
void setup_pager(void);
to set up output to be written through a pager applocation.
All in preparation for doing the simple scripts in C.
