Optimize color_parse_mem
Commit
5ef8d77a implemented color_parse_mem, a function for
parsing colors from a non-NUL-terminated string, by simply
allocating a new NUL-terminated string and calling
color_parse. This had a small but measurable speed impact on
a user format that used the advanced color parsing. E.g.,
# uses quick parsing
$ time ./git log --pretty=tformat:'%Credfoo%Creset' >/dev/null
real 0m0.673s
user 0m0.652s
sys 0m0.016s
# uses color_parse_mem
$ time ./git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(red)foo%C(reset)' >/dev/null
real 0m0.692s
user 0m0.660s
sys 0m0.032s
This patch implements color_parse_mem as the primary
function, with color_parse as a wrapper for strings. This
gives comparable timings to the first case above.
