Add "--patch" option to git-add--interactive
When the "--patch" option is supplied, the patch_update_cmd() function is called bypassing the main_loop() and exits. Seeing as builtin-add is the only caller of git-add--interactive we can impose a strict requirement on the format of the arguments to avoid possible ambiguity: an "--" argument must be used whenever any pathspecs are passed, both with the "--patch" option and without it.
