[PATCH 04/12] t3701: use test-terminal to collect color output

From

When testing whether "add -p" can generate colors, we set color.ui to "always". This isn't a very good test, as in the real-world a user typically has "auto" coupled with stdout going to a terminal (and it's plausible that this could mask a real bug in add--interactive if we depend on plumbing's isatty check).

Let's switch to test_terminal, which gives us a more realistic environment. This also prepare us for future changes to the "always" color option.
