[PATCH] dim: Add range-diff convenience wrapper

[Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>]

range-diff is awesome, but the interface is a bit silly. Add a bunch
of shortcuts, inspired by what git diff does.

v2: Add it to the developer commmands list. With this dim range-diff
is useable on any git repo, not just a dim managed one.
