    git.txt: correct stale 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' description · 17bae894

    In fde97d8a
    
     (Update documentation to remove incorrect GIT_DIFF_OPTS
    example., 2006-11-27), the description of the 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF'
    variable was moved from 'diff-format.txt' to 'git.txt', and the
    documentation was updated to remove a 'diff(1)' invocation since Git did
    not use an external diff program anymore by default.
    
    However, the description of 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' still mentions "instead
    of the diff invocation described above", which is confusing.
    
    Correct that outdated sentence.
    
    Also, link to git(1) in 'diff-generate-patch.txt' when GIT_DIFF_OPTS and
    GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF are mentioned, so that users can easily know what
    these variables are about.
