Allow the default prefixes "a/" and "b/" to be tweaked by the
diff.srcPrefix and diff.dstPrefix configuration variables.
Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@xxxxxxxxx>

Changes to v3:
- fix capitalization in the commit message
- quotes changed to " in the diff.txt hunk (for consistency with
diff.mnemonicPrefix)
- reword the diff-options.txt entry to be more explicit/definitive
Dragan: I used the lowercase `noprefix` spelling here to be consistent
with the current state of the tree, can you please include the fix for
this in your pending patch? Thanks.
