commit/status: show the index-worktree diff with -v -v
git commit and git status in long format show the diff between HEAD and the index when given -v. This allows previewing a commit to be made. They also list tracked files with unstaged changes, but without a diff. Introduce '-v -v' which shows the diff between the index and the worktree in addition to the HEAD index diff. This allows a review of unstaged changes which might be missing from the commit. In the case of '-v -v', additonal header lines Changes to be committed: and Changes not staged for commit: are inserted before the diffs, which are equal to those in the status part; the latter preceded by 50*"-" to make it stick out more.
