format_commit_message: honor `color=auto` for `%C(auto)`

git-log(1) documents that when specifying the `%C(auto)` format
placeholder will "turn on auto coloring on the next %placeholders
until the color is switched again."

However, when `%C(auto)` is used, the present implementation will turn
colors on unconditionally (even if the color configuration is turned off
for the current context - for example, `--no-color` was specified or the
color is `auto` and the output is not a tty).

Update `format_commit_one` to examine the current context when a format
string of `%C(auto)` is specified, which ensures that we will not
unconditionally write colors.  This brings that behavior in line with
the behavior of `%C(auto,<colorname>)`, and allows the user the ability
to specify that color should be displayed only when the output is a
tty.

Additionally, add a test for `%C(auto)` and update the existing tests
for `%C(auto,...)` as they were misidentified as being applicable to
`%C(auto)`.

Tests from Jeff King.
