[PATCH v3 3/5] add -p: insert space in colored hunk header as needed

<pull.1336.v3.git.1661785916.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

We are about to teach `git add -p` to show the entire hunk header if the `@@ ... @@` line range cannot be parsed. Previously, we showed only the remainder of that hunk header as an "colored_extra" part.

To prepare for that, detect if that "colored_extra" part starts with any non-whitespace character (ignoring ANSI escape sequences) and insert a space, to make the output much more pleasant.

Note that this has an effect already before we make `git add -p` more lenient when parsing the hunk headers: diff filters could already remove the space after the line range, which is precisely what we do in the regression test introduced by this commit.
