[PATCH 10/9 v4] difftool: fix regression in '--prompt' options

When difftool was changed to use Getopt::Long, it changed the way that the '--prompt' and '--no-prompt' options were handled. The expected behavior is that the two options may be given any number of times. The last option given "wins".

For example, if a user sets "[alias] mdt = difftool --prompt", the following must still run without error:

$ git mdt --no-prompt

The changes made during the switch to Getopt::Long broke this behavior. This commit teaches difftool to handle them properly again.

This replaces 10/9 in v3 of the series.
Changes in v4:
  - '--prompt' and '--no-prompt' may be used together again.
  - Removed changes made to t7800.  The old test now passes.
