Jeff King 89b4183efe stash: pass --no-color to diff plumbing child processes
After a partial stash, we may clear out the working tree by capturing
the output of diff-tree and piping it into git-apply (and likewise we
may use diff-index to restore the index). So we most definitely do not
want color diff output from that diff-tree process.  And it normally
would not produce any, since its stdout is not going to a tty, and the
default value of color.ui is "auto".

However, if GIT_PAGER_IN_USE is set in the environment, that overrides
the tty check, and we'll produce a colorized diff that chokes git-apply:

  $ echo y | GIT_PAGER_IN_USE=1 git stash -p
  [...]
  Saved working directory and index state WIP on main: 4f2e2bb foo
  error: No valid patches in input (allow with "--allow-empty")
  Cannot remove worktree changes

Setting this variable is a relatively silly thing to do, and not
something most users would run into. But we sometimes do it in our tests
to stimulate color. And it is a user-visible bug, so let's fix it rather
than work around it in the tests.

The root issue here is that diff-tree (and other diff plumbing) should
probably not ever produce color by default. It does so not by parsing
color.ui, but because of the baked-in "auto" default from 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10). But changing that is
risky; we've had discussions back and forth on the topic over the years.
E.g.:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/86D0A377-8AFD-460D-A90E-6327C6934DFC@gmail.com/.

So let's accept that as the status quo for now and protect ourselves by
passing --no-color to the child processes. This is the same thing we did
for add-interactive itself in 1c6ffb546b (add--interactive.perl: specify
--no-color explicitly, 2020-09-07).
