diff_free_filespec_data crashes when passed a NULL fillspec pointer. Commit 3aef54e8b8 ("diff: munmap() file contents before running external diff", 2019-07-11) introduced calls to diff_free_filespec_data in run_external_diff without also checking if the argument is NULL.
Git uses NULL filespecs to indicate unmerged files when merge conflict resolution is in progress. Fortunately, other code paths bail out early even before NULL can reach diff_free_filespec_data(); however, difftool is expected to do a full-blown diff anyway regardless of conflict status.
Fix this and prevent any similar bugs in the future by making `diff_free_filespec_data(NULL)` a no-op.
Add a test case that confirms that running difftool --cached with unmerged files does not result in a SIGSEGV.
