Hello Peter,

Allow the default prefixes "a/" and "b/" to be tweaked by the
diff.srcprefix and diff.dstprefix configuration variables.

The only thing that's left is to update the patch description
to use camel case. :)

Changes to v2;
- doc: change to camelcase diff.srcPrefix/diff.dstPrefix for
  consistency with diff.mnemonicPrefix and most other options
- git diff --default-prefix forces a/ and b/ regardless of configured
  prefix, see the 'diff_opt_default_prefix' hunk in the patch below.

The latter may be slightly controversial but: there are scripts out
there that rely on the a/ and b/ prefix (came across one last night).
With a custom prefix those scripts will break, having an option that
forces the a/ and b/ prefix helps. Plus the man page explicitly says:
  Use the default source and destination prefixes ("a/" and "b/").
So let's stick with that behaviour then.
