[PATCH] column: Fix some compiler and sparse warnings

Some versions of gcc complain as follows:
        CC column.o
    column.c: In function `git_config_column':
    column.c:313: warning: 'set' might be used uninitialized in \
        this function

The 'set' variable is not in fact used uninitialised, but in order to suppress the warning, we rework the code slightly to ensure gcc does not mis-diagnose the variable usage.

Also, sparse complains as follows:
        SP pager.c
    pager.c:134:5: warning: symbol 'term_columns' was not declared. \
        Should it be static?

In order to fix the warning, we add an include of the column.h header, which contains an appropriate extern declaration of term_columns().

Hi Nguyen,

If you need to re-roll your "nd/columns" branch, could you please squash this patch (or some variant) into it. Thanks!

[I haven't checked, but I'm guessing that the pager.c change would be squashed into commit cb0850f (Save terminal width before setting up pager, 04-02-2012), whereas the column.c change would be squashed into commit ac21f2b (Add git-column and column mode parsing, 04-02-2012)]

ATB, Ramsay Jones
