[PATCHv3 1/4] diff: make the indent heuristic part of diff's basic configuration

This heuristic was originally introduced as an experimental feature, and therefore part of the UI configuration.

But the user often sees diffs generated by plumbing commands like diff-tree. Moving the indent heuristic into diff's basic configuration prepares the way for diff plumbing commands to respect the setting.

The heuristic itself merely makes the diffs more aesthetically pleasing, without changing their correctness. Scripts that rely on the diff plumbing commands should not care whether or not the heuristic is employed.
