When trying to find out mode changes, we should not access the symlink
targets using stat(); instead we use lstat() so that the diff does
not fail trying to find a non-existing symlink target.

We forgot to move to the next argument when parsing -q, getting stuck
in an endless loop.

We need to parse options before we can see if --exit-code was
provided.

Accept -- as an "end of options" marker even when using --no-index.
Previously, the -- triggered a "normal" index/tree diff and subsequently
failed because of the unrecognized (in that mode) --no-index.
Note that the second loop can treat '--' as a normal option, because
the preceding checks ensure it is the third-to-last argument.
While at it, fix the parsing of "-q" option in --no-index mode as well.

With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/". Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.
"git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
"git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
"git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
"git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
"git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

The name path_list was correct for the first usage of that data structure,
but it really is a general-purpose string list.
$ perl -i -pe 's/path-list/string-list/g' $(git grep -l path-list)
$ perl -i -pe 's/path_list/string_list/g' $(git grep -l path_list)
$ git mv path-list.h string-list.h
$ git mv path-list.c string-list.c
$ perl -i -pe 's/has_path/has_string/g' $(git grep -l has_path)
$ perl -i -pe 's/path/string/g' string-list.[ch]
$ git mv Documentation/technical/api-path-list.txt \
Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt
$ perl -i -pe 's/strdup_paths/strdup_strings/g' $(git grep -l strdup_paths)
... and then fix all users of string-list to access the member "string"
instead of "path".
Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt needed some rewrapping, too.

Even when inside a git work tree, if two paths are given and at least one
is clearly outside the work tree, it cannot be a request to diff a tracked
path anyway; allow such an invocation to use --no-index semantics.

Even if "foo" and/or "bar" does not exist in index, "git diff foo bar"
should not change behaviour drastically from "git diff foo bar baz" or
"git diff foo". A feature that "sometimes works and is handy" is an
unreliable cute hack.
"git diff foo bar" outside a git repository continues to work as a more
colourful alternative to "diff -u" as before.
