1. gitk: added external diff file rename detection …

   * If a file was renamed between commits and an external diff is started
     through gitk on the THE ORIGINAL FILE NAME (not the renamed one),
     gitk was unable to open the renamed file in the external diff editor.
     It failed to fetch the renamed file from git, because it fetched it
     with the original path in contrast to using the renamed path
   * gitk now detects the rename and opens the external diff with the
     original and the RENAMED file instead of no file (it is able to
     fetch the renamed file now from git with the renamed path/filename)
   * Since git doesn't destinguish between move or rename this also works
     for moved files
   * External diff detection and usage is optional and has to be enabled in
     gitk settings
   * External rename detection ist marked EXPERIMENTAL in the settings
     and disabled by default
   * Showing the renamed file doesn't work when THE RENAMED FILE is selected
     in gitk and an external diff ist started on that file, because the
     selected file is not renamed in that commit. It already IS the renamed
     file.
