git-difftool: Add '--gui' for selecting a GUI tool
Users might prefer to have git-difftool use a different
tool when run from a Git GUI.
This teaches git-difftool to honor 'diff.guitool' when
the '--gui' option is specified. This allows users to
configure their preferred command-line diff tool in
'diff.tool' and a GUI diff tool in 'diff.guitool'.
