[PATCH v4 2/7] add--helper: create builtin helper for interactive add

["Daniel Ferreira via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Daniel Ferreira <bnmvco@xxxxxxxxx>

Create a builtin helper for git-add--interactive, which right now is not
able to do anything.

This is the first step in an effort to convert git-add--interactive.perl
to a C builtin, in search for better portability, expressibility and
performance (specially on non-POSIX systems like Windows).

Additionally, an eventual complete port of git-add--interactive would
remove the last "big" Git script to have Perl as a dependency, allowing
most Git users to have a NOPERL build running without big losses.
