[PATCH 03/10] t4015: avoid git as a pipe input

From

In t4015 we have a pattern of
    git diff [<options, related to color>] |
        grep -v "index" |
        test_decode_color >actual &&

to produce output that we want to test against. This pattern was introduced in 86b452e2769 (diff.c: add dimming to moved line detection, 2017-06-30) as then the focus on getting the colors right. However the pattern used is not best practice as we do care about the exit code of Git. So let's not have Git as the upstream of a pipe. Piping the output of grep to some function is fine as we assume grep to be un-flawed in our test suite.
