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.

In configuration files (and "git config --color" command line), we
supported one and only one attribute after foreground and background
color. Accept combinations of attributes, e.g.
[diff.color]
old = red reverse bold

Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based
programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument
is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given,
"always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes
the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls'
and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without
an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before.
To implement this, two internal changes were made:
1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL,
in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never",
or "auto".
2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb()
to the option parsing library. The callback uses
git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency
of parse-options.c.

* js/diff-color-words:
Change the spelling of "wordregex".
color-words: Support diff.wordregex config option
color-words: make regex configurable via attributes
color-words: expand docs with precise semantics
color-words: enable REG_NEWLINE to help user
color-words: take an optional regular expression describing words
color-words: change algorithm to allow for 0-character word boundaries
color-words: refactor word splitting and use ALLOC_GROW()
Add color_fwrite_lines(), a function coloring each line individually
Commit 5ef8d77a implemented color_parse_mem, a function for
parsing colors from a non-NUL-terminated string, by simply
allocating a new NUL-terminated string and calling
color_parse. This had a small but measurable speed impact on
a user format that used the advanced color parsing. E.g.,
# uses quick parsing
$ time ./git log --pretty=tformat:'%Credfoo%Creset' >/dev/null
real 0m0.673s
user 0m0.652s
sys 0m0.016s
# uses color_parse_mem
$ time ./git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(red)foo%C(reset)' >/dev/null
real 0m0.692s
user 0m0.660s
sys 0m0.032s
This patch implements color_parse_mem as the primary
function, with color_parse as a wrapper for strings. This
gives comparable timings to the first case above.

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.

We have to set the color before every line and reset it before every
newline. Add a function color_fwrite_lines() which does that for us.

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.

When deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color
support, git_config_colorbool checks whether stdout is a
tty. However, because we run a pager, if stdout is not a
tty, we must check whether it is because we started the
pager. This used to be done by checking the pager_in_use
variable.
This variable was set only when the git program being run
started the pager; there was no way for an external program
running git indicate that it had already started a pager.
This patch allows a program to set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE to a
true value to indicate that even though stdout is not a tty,
it is because a pager is being used.

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.

Too many people got burned by setting color.diff and color.status to
true when they really should have set it to "auto".
This makes only "always" to do the unconditional colorization, and
change the meaning of "true" to the same as "auto": colorize only when
we are talking to a terminal.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).
