From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

We call into either run_dir_diff() or run_file_diff(), each of which sets up a child argv starting with "diff" and some hard-coded options (depending on which mode we're using). Let's extract that logic into the caller, which will make it easier to modify the options for cases which affect both functions.
