[PATCH] diff: setup pager only before diff contents truly ready

["Y5 via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: y5c4l3 <y5c4l3@proton.me>

git-diff setups pager at an early stage in cmd_diff; running diff with
invalid options like git diff --invalid will unexpectedly starts a
pager, which causes behavior inconsistency.

The pager setup routine should be moved right before the real diff
contents, in case there is any argv error.
