[PATCH 5/6] show-diff.c: make diff options customizable.

[PATCH 5/6] show-diff.c: make diff options customizable.

[Junio C Hamano]

This patch is optional.  If makes the diff output formatting
options customizable via the environment variables.  The default
is still the Linux kernel style.

To be applied on top of:

    [PATCH 1/6] show-diff.c: clean up private buffer use.
    [PATCH 2/6] show-diff.c: check unreadbale blob.
    [PATCH 3/6] show-diff.c: simplify show_diff_empty.
    [PATCH 4/6] show-diff.c: adjust default format for the Linux kernel.
