Subject: [PATCH v5 10/10] add--interactive.perl: use add--helper --show-help for help_cmd

From: "Slavica Djukic via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 03:41:35 -0800 (PST)

From: Slavica Djukic <[email-masked]>

Change help_cmd sub in git-add--interactive.perl to use
show-help command from builtin add--helper.

If an error occurs, it will be reported, but the Perl script will
not exit, since the add--helper is called within an eval block.

Just like the change where the Perl script calls the add--helper
to print the numstat, also here we forgo adding a regression test:
the Perl script is on its way out (and this patch is part of that journey).
