extdiff: refactor logic to diff revs of versions of files

Now that code for both cases, diffing patches or files is in separate function,
it will be better to refactor them more and understand.

 '''command to allow external programs to compare revisions
 
 The extdiff Mercurial extension allows you to use external programs
 to compare revisions, or revision with working directory. The external
 diff programs are called with a configurable set of options and two
 non-option arguments: paths to directories containing snapshots of
 files to compare.
 
 If there is more than one file being compared and the "child" revision
 is the working directory, any modifications made in the external diff
 program will be copied back to the working directory from the temporary
 directory.
 
 The extdiff extension also allows you to configure new diff commands, so
 you do not need to type :hg:`extdiff -p kdiff3` always. ::
 
   [extdiff]
   # add new command that runs GNU diff(1) in 'context diff' mode
   cdiff = gdiff -Nprc5
   ## or the old way:
   #cmd.cdiff = gdiff
   #opts.cdiff = -Nprc5
 
   # add new command called meld, runs meld (no need to name twice).  If
   # the meld executable is not available, the meld tool in [merge-tools]
   # will be used, if available
   meld =
 
   # add new command called vimdiff, runs gvimdiff with DirDiff plugin
   # (see http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=102) Non
   # English user, be sure to put "let g:DirDiffDynamicDiffText = 1" in
   # your .vimrc
   vimdiff = gvim -f "+next" \\
             "+execute 'DirDiff' fnameescape(argv(0)) fnameescape(argv(1))"
 
 Tool arguments can include variables that are expanded at runtime::
 
   $parent1, $plabel1 - filename, descriptive label of first parent
   $child,   $clabel  - filename, descriptive label of child revision
   $parent2, $plabel2 - filename, descriptive label of second parent
   $root              - repository root
   $parent is an alias for $parent1.
 
 The extdiff extension will look in your [diff-tools] and [merge-tools]
 sections for diff tool arguments, when none are specified in [extdiff].
 
 ::
 
   [extdiff]
   kdiff3 =
 
   [diff-tools]
   kdiff3.diffargs=--L1 '$plabel1' --L2 '$clabel' $parent $child
 
 If a program has a graphical interface, it might be interesting to tell
 Mercurial about it. It will prevent the program from being mistakenly
 used in a terminal-only environment (such as an SSH terminal session),
 and will make :hg:`extdiff --per-file` open multiple file diffs at once
 instead of one by one (if you still want to open file diffs one by one,
 you can use the --confirm option).
 
 Declaring that a tool has a graphical interface can be done with the
 ``gui`` flag next to where ``diffargs`` are specified:
 
 ::
 
   [diff-tools]
   kdiff3.diffargs=--L1 '$plabel1' --L2 '$clabel' $parent $child
   kdiff3.gui = true
 
 You can use -I/-X and list of file or directory names like normal
 :hg:`diff` command. The extdiff extension makes snapshots of only
 needed files, so running the external diff program will actually be
 pretty fast (at least faster than having to compare the entire tree).

     default options "-Npru".
 
     To select a different program, use the -p/--program option. The
     program will be passed the names of two directories to compare,
     unless the --per-file option is specified (see below). To pass
     additional options to the program, use -o/--option. These will be
     passed before the names of the directories or files to compare.
 
     When two revision arguments are given, then changes are shown
     between those revisions. If only one revision is specified then
     that revision is compared to the working directory, and, when no
     revisions are specified, the working directory files are compared
     to its parent.
 
     The --per-file option runs the external program repeatedly on each
     file to diff, instead of once on two directories. By default,
     this happens one by one, where the next file diff is open in the
     external program only once the previous external program (for the
     previous file diff) has exited. If the external program has a
     graphical interface, it can open all the file diffs at once instead
     of one by one. See :hg:`help -e extdiff` for information about how
     to tell Mercurial that a given program has a graphical interface.
 
     The --confirm option will prompt the user before each invocation of
     the external program. It is ignored if --per-file isn't specified.
