Document the color.interactive semantics
There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive description: 1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even though there are no other interactive commands which currently use it 2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies only to displays and prompts.
