[PATCH] Split external diff command interface to a separate file.

With this patch, the non-core'ish part of show-diff command that
invokes an external "diff" comand to obtain patches is split
into a separate file.  The next patch will introduce a new
command, diff-tree-helper, which uses this common diff interface
to format diff-tree and diff-cache output into a patch form.
