Adding horizontal scroll bar makes the scrolling feature more
discoverable to the users. The horizontal scrollbar is a bit narrower
than vertical ones so we don't make too big impact on available screen
real estate.
An interesting side effect of Tk scrollbars is that the "elevator"
size changes depending on the visible content. So the horizontal
scrollbar "elevator" changes as the user scrolls the view up and down.

This patch adds a relatively narrow horizontal scrollbar to the diff
pane. It might be a bit more complicated to implement an on-demand
one, however...
The patch seems to work fine on Linux and ion3 window manager. I
haven't had a chance to test it with other systems.
