We ignore the option --color-moved if an external diff program is
configured, presumably because its overhead is unnecessary in that case.
Respect the option if we don't actually use the external diff, though.

Changes since v1:
* use single word colors, leaving the background unchanged, as they are
  easier to read,
* run git diff to generate the expected content instead of reusing the
  output of the previous test ...
* ... and put the common arguments in a variable to make clear that we
  compare diff with and without a diff.external/--no-ext-diff dance,
* use echo instead of false as the (unused) external diff command to
  avoid giving the wrong impression that diff.external is a boolean
  option we turn off here.

I am fine with either "/bin/false" or "echo".  I kind of found it a
nice way to assert that --no-ext-diff is indeed in effect (if we did
not disable it, "false" would lead to "whoa, your external diff
driver returned a failure").

Thanks, will queue.
