 Rewrite a scripted porcelain "git difftool" in C.

 What's the doneness of this topic?

There was only one bug report since the first iteration, and it has been
fixed as of v4.

The git_exec_path patch is a bit unrelated and should probably be split
out.

The "t7800: run both" patch should not be merged to `next` (or beyond).

I will prepare a proper v5 soon that replaces the t7800 patch by a patch
retiring the Perl script to contrib/.

Ciao,
