builtin/diff-index: learn --merge-base
There is currently no easy way to take the diff between the working tree
or index and the merge base between an arbitrary commit and HEAD. Even
diff's `...` notation doesn't allow this because it only works between
commits. However, the ability to do this would be desirable to a user
who would like to see all the changes they've made on a branch plus
uncommitted changes without taking into account changes made in the
upstream branch.
Teach diff-index and diff (with one commit) the --merge-base option
which allows a user to use the merge base of a commit and HEAD as the
"before" side.
