[PATCH] Introduce entry point for launching add--interactive.

This refactors builtin-add.c a little to provide a unique entry point for launching git add --interactive, which will be used by builtin-commit too. If we later want to make add --interactive a builtin or change how it is launched, we just start from this function.

Oh, oops, just one more change outside builtin-commit.c. This is mostly stylistic, but it seems reasonable to reasonable to have a well-defined entry point for launcing git add --interactive.
