As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

Now that "git diff" handles stdin and relative paths outside the
working tree correctly, we can convert all instances of "diff -u"
to "git diff".
This commit is really the result of
$ perl -pi.bak -e 's/diff -u/git diff/' $(git grep -l "diff -u" t/)

(cherry picked from commit c699a40d68215c7e44a5b26117a35c8a56fbd387)
With the new flag "--reject", hunks that do not apply are sent to
the standard output, and the usable hunks are applied. The command
itself exits with non-zero status when this happens, so that the
user or wrapper can take notice and sort the remaining mess out.
