[PATCH] status: fix verbose status coloring inconsistency

["Lance Ward via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Lance Ward <ljward10@gmail.com>

Currently setting color.status=always results in a colored diff when
going stdout, but an uncolored diff when going to other files or piping
to other commands such as less or more.  This patch fixes this and now
color.status=always implies color.diff=always regardless of the output
location.
