difftool: add a skeleton for the upcoming builtin

This adds a builtin difftool that still falls back to the legacy Perl
version, which has been renamed to `legacy-difftool`.

The idea is that the new, experimental, builtin difftool immediately hands
off to the legacy difftool for now, unless the config variable
difftool.useBuiltin is set to true.

This feature flag will be used in the upcoming Git for Windows v2.11.0
release, to allow early testers to opt-in to use the builtin difftool and
flesh out any bugs.
