difftool --dir-diff: symlink all files matching the working tree

Some users like to edit files in their diff tool when using "git
difftool --dir-diff --symlink" to compare against the working tree but
difftool currently only created symlinks when a file contains unstaged
changes.

Change this behaviour so that symlinks are created whenever the
right-hand side of the comparison has the same SHA1 as the file in the
working tree.

Note that textconv filters are handled in the same way as by git-diff
and if a clean filter is not the inverse of its smudge filter we already
get a null SHA1 from "diff --raw" and will symlink the file without
going through the new hash-object based check.

'git difftool''s default behavior is create symlinks to the

Specifying `--no-symlinks` instructs 'git difftool' to create copies
instead. `--no-symlinks` is the default on Windows.
