range-diff: internally force `diff.noprefix=true`

When parsing the diffs, `range-diff` expects to see the prefixes `a/` and `b/` in the diff headers. These prefixes can be forced off via the config setting `diff.noprefix=true`. As `range-diff` is not prepared for that situation, this will cause a segmentation fault. Let's avoid that by passing the `--no-prefix` option to the `git log` process that generates the diffs that `range-diff` wants to parse. And of course expect the output to have no prefixes, then.
