difftool: Add '-x' and as an alias for '--extcmd'
This adds '-x' as a shorthand for the '--extcmd' option. Arguments to '--extcmd' can be specified separately, which was not originally possible. This also fixes the brief help text so that it mentions both '-x' and '--extcmd'. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
