[PATCH 1/2] difftool: use "struct strvec" API in run_{dir,file}_diff()

The underlying run_command() API can take either the "struct strvec args", or a "const char **argv". Let's move to the former to use the more "native" version of run_command() in both of these functions.

This change probably isn't worth in on its own, but sets us up to simplify API use even more in a subsequent commit.
