git diff: support "-U" and "--unified" options properly

We used to parse "-U" and "--unified" as part of the GIT_DIFF_OPTS
environment variable, but strangely enough we would _not_ parse them as
part of the normal diff command line (where we only accepted "-u").

This adds parsing of -U and --unified, both with an optional numeric
argument. So now you can just say

git diff --unified=5

to get a unified diff with a five-line context, instead of having to do
something silly like

GIT_DIFF_OPTS="--unified=5" git diff -u

(that silly format does continue to still work, of course).
