extdiff: do single file diffs from the wc with no copy

Extdiff was always making a temporary directory and copying files even when not required. This change makes extdiff avoid the copy when diffing a single file that lives in the wc. This lets external diff tools edit the working copy file directly. It also lets other extensions resuse the functions in extdiff and get in-place diffs.

# if the result of the merge of 1 and 2
# is the same in 3 and 4, no new manifest
# will be created and the manifest group
# will be empty during the pull
#
# (plus we test a failure where outgoing
# wrongly reported the number of csets)
