[PATCH] gitk: Add "First parent" checkbox

Sometimes it's desirable to see what changes were introduced by a merge commit, rather than how conflicts were resolved. This adds a checkbox which, when turned on, makes gitk show the equivalent of "git show --first-parent <commit>" for merge commits.

I realize this conflicts with Thomas Rast's recent patch to
add a word-diff dropdown box; things are fighting for space
in the diff pane header...
