difftool: add support for a difftool.prompt config variable
difftool now supports difftool.prompt so that users do not have to pass --no-prompt or hit enter each time a diff tool is launched. The --prompt flag overrides the configuration variable. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
