drop odd return value semantics from userdiff_configjk/userdiff-config-simplify
When the userdiff_config function was introduced in be58e70 (diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code, 2008-10-05), it used a return value convention unlike any other config callback. Like other callbacks, it used "-1" to signal error. But it returned "1" to indicate that it found something, and "0" otherwise; other callbacks simply returned "0" to indicate that no error occurred. This distinction was necessary at the time, because the userdiff namespace overlapped slightly with the color configuration namespace. So "diff.color.foo" could mean "the 'foo' slot of diff coloring" or "the 'foo' component of the "color" userdiff driver". Because the color-parsing code would die on an unknown color slot, we needed the userdiff code to indicate that it had matched the variable, letting us bypass the color-parsing code entirely. Later, in 8b8e862 (ignore unknown color configuration, 2009-12-12), the color-parsing code learned to silently ignore unknown slots. This means we no longer need to protect userdiff-matched variables from reaching the color-parsing code. We can therefore change the userdiff_config calling convention to a more normal one. This drops some code from each caller, which is nice. But more importantly, it reduces the cognitive load for readers who may wonder why userdiff_config is unlike every other config callback. There's no need to add a new test confirming that this works; t4020 already contains a test that sets diff.color.external.
