diff: pass o->use_color directly to fill_metainfo()

We pass the use_color parameter of fill_metainfo() as a strict boolean,
using:

  want_color(o->use_color) && !pgm

to derive its value. But then inside the function, we pass it to
diff_get_color(), which expects one of the git_colorbool enum values,
and so feeds it to want_color() again.

Even though want_color() produces a strict 0/1 boolean, this doesn't
produce wrong results because want_color() is idempotent. Since
GIT_COLOR_ALWAYS and NEVER are defined as 1 and 0, and because
want_color() passes through those values, evaluating "want_color(foo)"
and "want_color(want_color(foo))" will return the same result.

But as part of a longer strategy to align the types we use for storing
these values, let's pass through the colorbool directly. To handle the
"&&" case here, we'll convert the presence of "pgm" into "NEVER", which
arguably makes the intent of the code more clear anyway.
