revision: add separate field for "-m" of "diff-index -m"

Add separate 'match_missing' field for diff-index to use and set it when we encounter "-m" option. This field won't then be cleared when another meaning of "-m" is reverted (e.g., by "--no-diff-merges"), nor it will be affected by future option(s) that might drive 'ignore_merges' field. Use this new field from diff-lib:do_oneway_diff() instead of reusing 'ignore_merges' field. Signed-off-by: Sergey Organov <sorganov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
