diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-words

This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:

* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
  'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}

* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
  format:
  - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
    in unified diff
  - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
    tilde '~'

Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences.  --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format.  Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.
