Fix a regression in 88f6ffc1c2 ("add -p: only bind search key if
there's more than one hunk", 2018-02-13) which is present in
2.17.0-rc*, but not 2.16.0.
In Perl, regex variables like $1 always refer to the last regex
match. When the aforementioned change added a new regex match between
the old match and the corresponding code that was expecting $1, the $1
variable would always be undef, since the newly inserted regex match
doesn't have any captures.
As a result the "/" feature to search for a string in a hunk by regex
completely broke, on git.git:
$ perl -pi -e 's/Git/Tig/g' README.md
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD add -p
[..]
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,s,e,?]? s
Split into 4 hunks.
[...]
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,s,e,?]? /Many
Use of uninitialized value $1 in string eq at /home/avar/g/git/git-add--interactive line 1568, <STDIN> line 1.
search for regex? Many
I.e. the initial "/regex" command wouldn't work, and would always emit
a warning and ask again for a regex, now it works as intended again.

Of course I just noticed the grammar errors in the commit message
after sending. Here's a v2 with that fixed, also genreated the patch
with -U6 to make it clear what's going on.
