Implement 'git stash save --patch'

This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash.  You can select hunks from
the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a
stash that reflects these changes.  The index state of the stash is
the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply
--keep-index.

Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree
but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing
if you had also staged these changes.  This is not entirely
satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions
would require a change to the stash format.

 If the `--keep-index` option is used, all changes already added to the

+With `--patch`, you can interactively select hunks from in the diff
+between HEAD and the working tree to be stashed.  The stash entry is
+constructed such that its index state is the same as the index state

+selected interactively.  The selected changes are then rolled back
