We've only ever used parse-option.c's OPT_ARGUMENT() in one place, as it turns out we can use an OPT_BOOL there instead. and get a net reduction in code & complexity. I think this v2 should address the comments Jeff King had in https://lore.kernel.org/git/YT6BnnXeAWn8BycF@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/; there's now an amended version of his proposed patch as part of this, but I prepended it with another one to prepare the "struct child_process" in cmd_difftool(). Doing so nicely gets around the question of the strvec memory management, since we can trust the run-command.c API to do that for us, but couldn't in my v1 when we'd copy our own "struct strvec *" to its "args".

Let's move to the former to use the - more "native" version of run_command() in both of these functions. - - This change probably isn't worth in on its own, but sets us up to - simplify API use even more in a subsequent commit. + Move the preparation of the "struct child_process" from run_dir_diff() + to its only caller, cmd_difftool(). This is in preparation for + migrating run_file_diff() to using the run_command() API directly, and + to move more of the shared setup of the two to cmd_difftool().
