[PATCH v3 7/8] wt-status: load diff ui config

When "git status -v" shows a diff, we did not respect the user's usual diff preferences at all. Loading just git_diff_basic_config would give us things like rename limits and diff drivers. But it makes even more sense to load git_diff_ui_config, which gives us colorization if the user has requested it.

Note that we need to take special care to cancel colorization when writing to the commit template file, as described in the code comments.

This is necessary to do textconvs in the "status -v" diff (which will
come in the next patch).

But it makes me a little nervous. On one hand, I think it is definitely the right thing for "status -v" to respect user options. But we do several _other_ diffs in addition, and those are more "plumbing" diffs. I think they should probably at least have diff_basic_config (e.g., for rename limits). But we are applying the diff_ui_config options to all diffs. Looking over the available options, I _think_ there are no nasty surprises. But you never know.
