parentdiff-lib: allow ita entries treated as "not yet exist in index" (diff)

diff: add --ita-[in]visible-in-index
The option --ita-invisible-in-index exposes the "ita_invisible_in_index" diff flag to outside to allow easier experimentation with this new mode. The "plan" is to make --ita-invisible-in-index default to keep consistent behavior with 'status' and 'commit', but a bunch other commands like 'apply', 'merge', 'reset'.... need to be taken into consideration as well.

+--ita-invisible-in-index::
+ By default entries added by "git add -N" appear as an existing
+ empty file in "git diff" and a new file in "git diff --cached".
+ This option makes the entry appear as a new file in "git diff"
+ and non-existent in "git diff --cached". This option could be
+ reverted with `--ita-visible-in-index`. Both options are
+ experimental and could be removed in future.
