When a user is interactively deciding which hunks to use or skip for
staging, unstaging, stashing etc, there is no way to know the
decision previously chosen for a hunk when navigating through the
previous and next hunks using K/J respectively.

Improve the UI to explicitly show if a user has previously decided to
use a hunk (by pressing 'y') or skip the hunk (by pressing 'n').
This will improve clarity and aid the navigation process for the
user.
