[EGIT PATCH] Enable diff=java for all *.java source files

This (usually) gets more reasonable function headers to
appear in the header line for a diff hunk.  Its slightly
better than the default C rules.

Because uh.  Nobody submitted a patch to make it the default?

It does seem like it would be a good idea to make it the default.
Its unlikely the C function header pattern is ever going to produce a
more reasonable hunk header for a *.java file than the Java pattern.
