diff: ensure correct lifetime of external_diff_cmd
According to getenv(3)'s notes:
The implementation of getenv() is not required to be reentrant. The
string pointed to by the return value of getenv() may be statically
allocated, and can be modified by a subsequent call to getenv(),
putenv(3), setenv(3), or unsetenv(3).
Since strings returned by getenv() are allowed to change on subsequent
calls to getenv(), make sure to duplicate when caching external_diff_cmd
from environment.
This problem becomes apparent on Git for Windows since fe21c6b285df
(mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16 <-> UTF-8)),
when the getenv() implementation provided in compat/mingw.c was changed
to keep a certain amount of alloc'ed strings and freeing them on
subsequent calls.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2007:
