Johannes Altmanninger d6b75ac0bb rc tools git: change git diff filetype from diff to git-diff
Diff buffers created by ":git diff" differ from other filetype=diff
buffers in that they use "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" as root
directory for diff-jump. This makes sense because paths printed by
"git diff" are relative to that directory.

Today we handle the above difference by making ":git" override the
diff-jump mapping.  This doesn't work for buffers that were read from
a file.  Fix this by introducing a separate filetype, "git-diff",
which allows to move the mapping in the usual place.

This breaks existing filetype=diff hooks[1] which need to be adapted
to match git-diff (also git-log).

Another motivation for the separate filetype is that a following
patch wants to enable Git blame commands in git-diff buffers but
not in plain diff buffers -- those should keep being blamed like any
other file if tracked by Git.
Perhaps git-* buffers are for Git metadata, not files that are tracked
by Git.

The added hooks awkwardly include their hook parameter to work around
hook ordering issues when switching between filetypes. See also [2].

We could also use filetype=git-log instead of git-diff.
Our highlighting for "git log --graph" would have rare false positives.

Closes #5049
