The add--interactive --patch mode adjusts the UI based on
whether we are pulling changes from HEAD or elsewhere (in
the former case it asks to unstage the reverse hunk, rather
than apply the forward hunk).
Commit 166ec2e taught reset to work on an unborn branch, but
in doing so, switched to always providing add--interactive
with the sha1 rather than the symbolic name. This meant we
always used the "apply" interface, even for "git reset -p
HEAD".
We can fix this by passing the symbolic name to
add--interactive. Since it understands unborn branches
these days, we do not even have to cover this special case
ourselves; we can simply pass HEAD.
The tests in t7105 now check that the right interface is
used in each circumstance (and notice the regression from
166ec2e we are fixing). The test in t7106 checks that we
get this right for the unborn case, too (not a regression,
since it didn't work at all before, but a nice improvement).

Avoid command substitution and pipes to ensure that the exit status
from each git command is tested (and in particular that any segfaults
are caught).
Maintain the test setup (no commits, one file named "a", another named
"b") even after the last test, to make it easier to rearrange tests or
add new tests after the last in the future.

The test 'reset -p' uses git-reset -p, so it depends on the perl code.

Some users seem to think, knowingly or not, that being on an unborn
branch is like having a commit with an empty tree checked out, but
when run on an unborn branch, "git reset" currently fails with:
fatal: Failed to resolve 'HEAD' as a valid ref.
Instead of making users figure out that they should run
git rm --cached -r .
, let's teach "git reset" without a revision argument, when on an
unborn branch, to behave as if the user asked to reset to an empty
tree. Don't take the analogy with an empty commit too far, though, but
still disallow explictly referring to HEAD in "git reset HEAD".
