John Keeping 02c56314aa difftool --dir-diff: symlink all files matching the working tree ...

Some users like to edit files in their diff tool when using "git
difftool --dir-diff --symlink" to compare against the working tree but
difftool currently only created symlinks when a file contains unstaged
changes.

Change this behaviour so that symlinks are created whenever the
right-hand side of the comparison has the same SHA1 as the file in the
working tree.

Note that textconv filters are handled in the same way as by git-diff
and if a clean filter is not the inverse of its smudge filter we already
get a null SHA1 from "diff --raw" and will symlink the file without
going through the new hash-object based check.
