diff: drop dry-run redirection to /dev/null

As an added protection against dry-run diffs accidentally producing
output, we redirect diff_options.file to /dev/null. But as of the
previous patch, this now does nothing, since dry-run diffs are
implemented by setting "file" to NULL.

So we can drop this extra code with no change in behavior. This is
effectively a revert of 623f7af284 (diff: restore redirection to
/dev/null for diff_from_contents, 2025-10-17) and 3da4413dbc (diff: make
sure the other caller of diff_flush_patch_quietly() is silent,
2025-10-22), but:

  1. We get a conflict because we already dropped the color_moved
     handling in an earlier patch. But we just resolve the conflicts to
     "theirs" (removing all of the code).

  2. We retain the test from 623f7af284.
