The original intention of 72909be (Add diff-option --ext-diff, 2007-06-30)
was to optionally allow the use of external diff viewer in "git log"
family (while keeping them disabled by default). It exposed the "allow
external diff" bit to the UI, but forgot to adjust the "git diff" codepath
that was set up to always allow use of the external diff viewer.
Noticed by Nazri Ramliy; tests by René Scharfe squashed in.

Solaris /usr/bin/grep doesn't understand "-a". In this case
we can just include the expected output with the test, which
is a better test anyway.

Dealing with NULs is not always safe with tr. On Solaris,
incoming NULs are silently deleted by both the System V and
UCB versions of tr. When converting to NULs, the System V
version works fine, but the UCB version silently ignores the
request to convert the character.
This patch changes all instances of tr using NULs to use
"perl -pe 'y///'" instead.

Some versions of 'tr' only accept octal codes if entered with three digits,
and therefor misinterpret the '\0' in the test suite.
Some versions of 'tr' reject the (needless) use of character classes.

The code shuffling mistakenly lost binariness specified with the
attribute mecahnism and made it always guess from the data.
Noticed by Johannes, with two test cases to t4020.

This enhances the attributes mechanism so that external programs
meant for existing GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface can be specifed
per path.
To configure such a custom diff driver, first define a custom
diff driver in the configuration:
[diff "my-c-diff"]
command = <<your command string comes here>>
Then mark the paths that you want to use this custom driver
using the attribute mechanism.
*.c diff=my-c-diff
The intent of this separation is that the attribute mechanism is
used for specifying the type of the contents, while the
configuration mechanism is used to define what needs to be done
to that type of the contents, which would be specific to both
platform and personal taste.
