    When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each
    modified file to be viewed in an external diff program.  At that
    point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number
    of files in the diff queue.
    
    Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files:
    
        Viewing: 'diff.c'
        Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:
    
    Consider the modified prompt:
    
        Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c'
        Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:
    
    The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of
    paths in the diff queue nor the current counter.  To make this
    "counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs
    without breaking existing ones by doing the following:
    
     - Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options;
    
     - Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to
       show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the
       current value of the counter (from diff_options); and
    
     - Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.
