[PATCH 2/2] difftool: handle unmerged files in dir-diff mode

From

When files are unmerged they can show up as both unmerged and modified in the output of `git diff --raw`. This causes difftool's dir-diff to create filesystem entries for the same path twice, which fails when it encounters a duplicate path.

Ensure that each worktree path is only processed once. Add a test to demonstrate the breakage.
