[PATCH v3 try2] prompt: support generic non-visible regions



readline uses \001 (start of header) and \002 (start of text) as markers
to delimit a non-visible character zone, which are necessary to
calculate the width of a prompt.

In zsh we do this with %{ and %}, but we could support
\001 and \002 as well, so that a function which generates output for
the prompt can use colors in a way that works for both bash and zsh.

This additionally has the benefit of allowing prompts without
PROMPT_PERCENT to use colors correctly.

No change since the previous try.

This is how I tested the nesting:

  $' %{\e[31m\x01\e[31m\x01\e[31m\x02\e[31m\x02\e[31m%}master%{\e[m\x01\e[m\x01\e[m\x02\e[m\x02\e[m%}'

And for the \001 and \002 reference:
