git-difftool--helper returns a zero exit status unless
--trust-exit-code is in effect. Add an explicit exit statement
to make this clearer.

Teach difftool to exit when a diff tool returns a non-zero exit
code when either --trust-exit-code is specified or
difftool.trustExitCode is true.
Forward exit codes from invoked diff tools to the caller when
--trust-exit-code is used.

An attempt to quit difftool by hitting Ctrl-D (EOF) at its prompt does
not quit it, but is treated as if 'yes' was answered to the prompt and
all following prompts, which is contrary to the user's intent. Fix the
error check.

When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each
modified file to be viewed in an external diff program. At that
point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number
of files in the diff queue.
Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files:
Viewing: 'diff.c'
Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:
Consider the modified prompt:
Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c'
Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:
The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of
paths in the diff queue nor the current counter. To make this
"counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs
without breaking existing ones by doing the following:
- Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options;
- Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to
show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the
current value of the counter (from diff_options); and
- Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

Do not use a random string as if it is a format string for printf
when showing it literally; instead feed it to '%s' format.

When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify
more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for
each file that changed.
The new '--dir-diff' option copies all the modified files to a temporary
location and runs a directory diff on them in a single instance of the
diff tool.

This is useful if you forgot to restrict the diff to the paths you want
to see, or selecting precisely the ones you want is too much typing.

Currently, only configured diff helpers get the basename of the file
being compared. Tools specified with "git difftool -x" only get the
names of temporary files for the different versions.
Export BASE so that an external tool can read the name from the
environment. Rather than using a third argument, this avoids breaking
existing scripts which may somewhat carelessly be using "$@" rather than
"$1" "$2".

The documentation states that "git-difftool falls back to git-mergetool
config variables when the difftool equivalents have not been defined".
Until now, this was not the case for "difftool.prompt".

git-difftool requires difftool.<tool>.cmd configuration even when
tools use the standard "$diffcmd $from $to" form. This teaches
git-difftool to run these tools in lieu of configuration by
allowing the command to be specified on the command line.

An undocumented mis-feature in git-difftool is that it allows you
to specify a default difftool by setting GIT_MERGE_TOOL.
This behavior was never documented and was included as an
oversight back when git-difftool was maintained outside of git.
git-mergetool never honored GIT_MERGE_TOOL so neither should
git-difftool.

The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more
global variables so that things are simpler for callers.
A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing
them is justified by the simpler implementation.

This prepares 'git-difftool' and its documentation for
mainstream use.
'git-difftool-helper' became 'git-difftool--helper'
since users should not use it directly.
'git-difftool' was added to the list of commands as
an ancillaryinterrogator.
