color-words: make regex configurable via attributes
Make the --color-words splitting regular expression configurable via the diff driver's 'wordregex' attribute. The user can then set the driver on a file in .gitattributes. If a regex is given on the command line, it overrides the driver's setting. We also provide built-in regexes for the languages that already had funcname patterns, and add an appropriate diff driver entry for C/++. (The patterns are designed to run UTF-8 sequences into a single chunk to make sure they remain readable.)
