fix pager.diff with diff --no-index

git-diff does not rely on the git wrapper to setup its pager; instead, it sets it up on its own after seeing whether --quiet or --exit-code has been specified. After diff_no_index was split off from cmd_diff, commit b3fde6c (git diff --no-index: default to page like other diff frontends, 2008-05-26) duplicated the one-liner from cmd_diff to turn on the pager. Later, commit 8f0359f (Allow pager of diff command be enabled/disabled, 2008-07-21) taught the the version in cmd_diff to respect the pager.diff config, but the version in diff_no_index was left behind. This meant that git -c pager.diff=0 diff a b would not use a pager, but git -c pager.diff=0 diff --no-index a b would. Let's fix it by factoring out a common function. While we're there, let's update the antiquated comment, which claims that the pager interferes with propagating the exit code; this has not been the case since ea27a18 (spawn pager via run_command interface, 2008-07-22).
