[PATCH v2 1/4] difftool: prepare "struct child_process" in cmd_difftool()

<patch-v2-1.4-f57c6c9b069-20210913T033204Z-avarab@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover-v2-0.4-00000000000-20210913T033204Z-avarab@gmail.com>

Move the preparation of the "struct child_process" from run_dir_diff() to its only caller, cmd_difftool(). This is in preparation for migrating run_file_diff() to using the run_command() API directly, and to move more of the shared setup of the two to cmd_difftool().
