diff.h: drop diff_tree_oid() & friends' return value

Browse Source 
ll_diff_tree_oid() has only ever returned 0 [1], so it's return value
is basically useless.  It's only caller diff_tree_oid() has only ever
returned the return value of ll_diff_tree_oid() as-is [2], so its
return value is just as useless.  Most of diff_tree_oid()'s callers
simply ignore its return value, except:

  - diff_root_tree_oid() is a thin wrapper around diff_tree_oid() and
    returns with its return value, but all of diff_root_tree_oid()'s
    callers ignore its return value.

  - rev_compare_tree() and rev_same_tree_as_empty() do look at the
    return value in a condition, but, since the return value is always
    0, the former's < 0 condition is never fulfilled, while the
    latter's >= 0 condition is always fulfilled.

So let's drop the return value of ll_diff_tree_oid(), diff_tree_oid()
and diff_root_tree_oid(), and drop those conditions from
rev_compare_tree() and rev_same_tree_as_empty() as well.

[1] ll_diff_tree_oid() and its ancestors have been returning only 0
    ever since it was introduced as diff_tree() in 9174026cfe (Add
    "diff-tree" program to show which files have changed between two
    trees., 2005-04-09).
[2] diff_tree_oid() traces back to diff-tree.c:main() in 9174026cfe as
    well.
