commit c9bfb953 (want_color: automatically fallback to color.ui, 2011-08-17) introduced a regression where format-patch produces colorized patches when color.ui is set to "always".

In f3aafa4 (Disable color detection during format-patch, 2006-07-09), git_format_config was taught to intercept diff.color to avoid passing it down to git_log_config and later, git_diff_ui_config.

Teach git_format_config to intercept color.ui in the same way.
