[PATCH 2/3] add: lift the pathspec magic restriction on "add -p"

Since 480ca64 (convert run_add_interactive to use struct pathspec - 2013-07-14), we have unconditionally passed :(prefix)xxx to add-interactive.perl. It implies that all commands add-interactive.perl calls must be aware of pathspec magic, or :(prefix) is barfed. The restriction to :/ only becomes unnecessary.
