[PATCH] commit -v: add --word-diff opt to commit template

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

From: kraktus <rinses-riotous8n@icloud.com>

`--word-diff` was available for the `diff` command, but not for
the `commit` one, whereas it is very useful when updating column-based
data-format like CSV for example.

Only support the PORCELAIN mode for now, but if deemed necessary can
add plain too, I don't think COLOR makes sense when outputting a file.
