Jonathan Nieder e54c1f2d25 pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:

	$ git diff
	^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
	^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m

"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default.  Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.

Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).
