[PATCH v8] diff: add config option relative

From

In-Reply-To
<20200519230124.GA12509@danh.dev>

The `diff.relative` boolean option set to `true` shows only changes in the current directory/value specified by the `path` argument of the `relative` option and shows pathnames relative to the aforementioned directory.

Teach `--no-relative` to override earlier `--relative`

Add for git-format-patch(1) options documentation `--relative` and `--no-relative`
