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

[Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>]

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.

Since v2 I added checks to allow nesting of these non-visible regions as
Bart Schaefer suggested.

Interdiff against v2:
