Add a user config for using git's external diff command for paging

Browse Source 
This is similar to using lazygit's Git.Paging.ExternalDiffCommand config, except
that the command is configured in git. This can be done either with git's
`diff.external` config, or through .gitattributes, so it gives a bit more
flexibility.

Instead of setting this command in lazygit's `externalDiffCommand` config, you can also tell lazygit to use the external diff command that is configured in git itself (`diff.external`), by using
```yaml
git:
paging:
useExternalDiffGitConfig: true
```
This can be useful if you also want to use it for diffs on the command line, and it also has the advantage that you can configure it per file type in `.gitattributes`; see https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_defining_an_external_diff_driver.
