When using colors, the shell needs to identify 0-width substrings
in PS1 - such as color escape sequences - when calculating the
on-screen width of the prompt.
Until now, we used the form %F{<color>} in zsh - which it knows is
0-width, or otherwise use standard SGR esc sequences wrapped between
byte values 1 and 2 (SOH, STX) as 0-width start/end markers, which
bash/readline identify as such.
But now that more shells are supported, the standard SGR sequences
typically work, but the SOH/STX markers might not be identified.
This commit adds support for vars GIT_PS1_COLOR_{PRE,POST} which
set custom 0-width markers or disable the markers.
