diff: resurrect XDF_NEED_MINIMAL with --minimal
Earlier, 582aa00 (git diff too slow for a file, 2010-05-02)
unconditionally dropped XDF_NEED_MINIMAL option from the internal xdiff
invocation to help performance on pathological cases, while hinting that a
follow-up patch could reintroduce it with "--minimal" option from the
command line.
Make it so.
