The new option enables both asciidoctor as well as its direct-to-manpage

between the two pipelines with something like:

  ./doc-diff --from-asciidoctor --to-asciidoctor-direct HEAD HEAD

Note that we have to add quotes when passing around $makemanflags, as it
now may contain whitespace due to multiple arguments (but the deference

I suppose you meant s/deference/dereference/ ?

inside render_tree must remain unquoted, because it wants to perform
whitespace splitting to get the individual arguments back).
