Since the option --color-moved was added by 2e2d5ac184 (diff.c: color moved lines differently, 2017-06-30) we have been ignoring it if an external diff program is configured, presumably because its overhead is unnecessary in that case. Do respect --color-moved if we don't actually use the configured external diff, though.
