[PATCH] diff-lib: use worktree mode in diffs from i-t-a entries

From
Raymond E. Pasco <ray@ameretat.dev>

When creating "new file" diffs against i-t-a index entries, diff-lib erroneously uses the placeholder mode in the cache entry rather than the mode of the file in the worktree.

Change run_diff_files() to correctly use the mode of the worktree file in this case, and add a test verifying that diff uses the worktree mode.

Changed wording based on suggestion from Martin Ågren, although if
someone else shows up and says the other style is preferred I will be
cross.

The addition of a test makes this patch based on the patch I sent just now creating the test file, which is itself based on v2.28.0.
