[PATCH v3 2/3] add -p: allow line selection to be inverted

[Phillip Wood]

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.w...@dunelm.org.uk>

If the list of lines to be selected begins with '-' select all the
lines except the ones listed.

Signed-off-by: Phillip Wood <phillip.w...@dunelm.org.uk>

Notes:
    changes since v2:
     - use '-' to invert the selection instead of '^' to be consistent
       with the rest of add -i and clean -i.
