[PATCH v4] diff: handle --no-abbrev in no-index case

There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed, and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse --no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff" calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle --no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff: handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a repository.

setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't touch that.)

Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug, however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or --no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev (which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp --abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until now.

The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the repository you're in, and the --no-index option.
