[PATCH 2/9 v6] difftool: add '--no-gui' option

This commit teaches difftool to handle the '--no-gui' option. This option negates the existing '--gui' option. The last setting given on the command line wins.

This allows a user to configure "[alias] mdt = difftool --gui", but still have the ability to override the setting without error:

$ git mdt --no-gui
