Add the missing documentation for "diff.<driver>.funcname" and test for how it and "diff.<driver>.xfuncname" interact. Between the introduction of the "diff.<driver>.xfuncname" form in 45d9414fa5 (diff.*.xfuncname which uses "extended" regex's for hunk header selection, 2008-09-18) and when this documentation was written in 90b94c26f7 (Documentation: Add diff.<driver>.* to config, 2011-04-07) we forgot to document the existence of "diff.<driver>.funcname". Let's make a mention of it here, we could also partially revert the former commit and discuss the more verbose form in gitattributes(5), but let's stop short of that. It makes sense to guide users towards ERE over BRE whenever possible.
