Create a builtin helper for git-add--interactive, which right now is not able to do anything.

This is the first step in an effort to convert git-add--interactive.perl to a C builtin, in search for better portability, expressibility and performance (specially on non-POSIX systems like Windows).

Additionally, an eventual complete port of git-add--interactive would remove the last "big" Git script to have Perl as a dependency, allowing most Git users to have a NOPERL build running without big losses.
