Documentation: Add diff.<driver>.* to config
Although the gitattributes page contains comprehensive information about these configuration options, they should be included in the config documentation for completeness. It may be better to rename the "driver" in "diff.<driver>.*" to something like "content type" or "file type", but for now, let's keep it consistent across this part of the documentation and the original description in the gitattributes documentation.
