Add an optional argument for --color options
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.

When no explicit <ref> parameter is given, it defaults to the
current branch (or `HEAD` if it is detached).
---color::
+--color[=<when>]::
Color the status sign (one of these: `*` `!` `+` `-`) of each commit
corresponding to the branch it's in.
+ The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.
--no-color::
Turn off colored output, even when the configuration file gives the
default to color output.
+ Same as `--color=never`.
Note that --more, --list, --independent and --merge-base options
are mutually exclusive.
