[PATCH] gitk: Add "First parent" checkbox

[Stefan Haller <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes it's desirable to see what changes were introduced by a
merge commit, rather than how conflicts were resolved. This adds
a checkbox which, when turned on, makes gitk show the equivalent
of "git show --first-parent <commit>" for merge commits.

I realize this conflicts with Thomas Rast's recent path to add a
word-diff dropdown box; things are fighting for space in the diff
pane header...
