gitk: Allow users to view diffs in external diff viewer
This allows gitk to run an external diff viewer such as meld.
Right-click on a file in the file list view gives "External diff"
popup menu entry, which launches the selected external diff tool.
The menu entry is only active in "Patch" mode, not in "Tree" mode.
The program to run to display the diff is configurable through
Edit/Preference/External diff tool. The program is run with two
arguments, being the names of files containing the two versions to
diff. Gitk will create temporary directories called
.gitk-tmp.<pid>/<n> to place these files in, and remove them when
it's finished.
If the file doesn't exist in one or other revision, gitk will supply
/dev/null as the name of the file on that side of the diff. This may
need to be adjusted for Windows or MacOS.

gitk: Make updates go faster
This goes back to the method of doing updates where we translate the
revisions we're given to SHA1 ids and then remove the ones we've asked
for before or that we've already come across. This speeds up updates
enormously in most cases since it means git log doesn't have to traverse
large parts of the tree. We used to do this, but it had bugs, and commit 468bcaedbb1589f16955e63b6bfba01c2f53e433 (gitk: Don't filter view
arguments through git rev-parse) went to the slower method to avoid the
bugs.
In order to do this properly, we have to parse the command line and
understand all the flag arguments. So this adds a parser that checks
all the flag arguments. If there are any we don't know about, we
disable the optimization and just pass the whole lot to git log
(except for -d/--date-order, which we remove from the list).
With this we can then use git rev-parse on the non-flag arguments to
work out exactly what SHA1 ids are included and excluded in the list,
which then enables us to ask for just the new ones when updating.
One wrinkle is that we have to turn symmetric diff arguments (of the
form a...b) back into symmetric diff form so that --left-right still
works, as git rev parse turns a...b into a b ^merge_base(a,b).
gitk: Disable "Reset %s branch to here" when on a detached head
When we are on a detached head - since gitk does not display where

Alex Riesen pointed out that displaying a commit in 'tree' mode fails

This fixes it by doing what I originally intended but didn't quite

This also makes the date mode and the merge mode be per-view rather
than global. In merge mode, we work out the list of relevant files

if we have one and it generates a -d or --merge option they will be
correctly handled now.
The other thing this does is to make errors detected in start_rev_list
not be fatal. Now instead of doing exit 1 we just pop up and error

The first problem is fixed by just not setting targetrow/id unless
there is a selected row or they were set previously.
The second problem is fixed by updating numcommits immediately new
rows are added. This leads to a simplification of layoutmore and
chewcommits but also means that some of the things that were done in

longer use numcommits to know how much it has seen previously.

gitk: Handle updating with path limiting better
When updating the graph, gitk uses a git log command with commit
limiting in order to get just the new commits. When path limiting
is also in effect, git log rewrites the parents of the commits it
outputs in order to represent just the subgraph that modifies the
listed paths, but it doesn't rewrite the parents on the boundary
of the graph. The result is that when updating, git log does not
give gitk the information about where the new commits join in to
the existing graph.
This solves the problem by explicitly rewriting boundary parents
when updating. If we are updating and are doing path limiting,
then when gitk finds an unlisted commit (one where git log puts a
"-" in front of the commit ID to indicate that it isn't actually
part of the graph), then gitk will execute:
which returns the first ancestor that affects the listed paths.
(Currently gitk executes this synchronously; it could do it
asynchronously, which would be more complex but would avoid the
possibility of the UI freezing up if git rev-list takes a long time.)
Then, if the result is a commit that we know about, we rewrite the
parents of the children of the original commit to point to the new
commit. That is mostly a matter of adjusting the parents and children
arrays and calling fix_reversal to fix up the graph.
