[PATCH v2 09/11] built-in add -i: support `?` (prompt help)

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>

With this change, we print out the same colored help text that the
Perl-based `git add -i` prints in the main loop when question mark is
entered.
