Generalize and libify index_is_dirty() to index_differs_from(...)

index_is_dirty() in builtin-revert.c checks if the index is dirty.
This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs
from a revision, i.e. the former index_is_dirty() behavior can now be
achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0).

The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option
flags like DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_SUBMODULES. See DIFF_OPT_* macros in diff.h
for a list.

index_differs_from() seems to be useful for more than builtin-revert.c,
so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c.

Yet to mention:

 - "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed.
   This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither
   setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index().

 - rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.
