[PATCH] Tests: use test_cmp instead of diff where possible

Several old tests were written before test_cmp was introduced, convert these to test_cmp.

I intentionally did not touch t5000 - using test_cmp -r works for me, since the default is diff -u, but that would break the setup of users where GIT_TEST_CMP is set to cmp.
