[PATCH v8 06/12] git-clean: add filter by pattern interactive action

<1a78a5e0f03d320bbac165342e0cedd2726d44d3.1368118918.git.worldhello.net@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1368118918.git.worldhello.net@gmail.com>

Add a new action for interactive git-clean: filter by pattern. When the user chooses this action, user can input space-separated patterns (the same syntax as gitignore), and each clean candidate that matches with one of the patterns will be excluded from cleaning. When the user feels it's OK, presses ENTER and back to the confirmation dialog.
