diff: turn --ita-invisible-in-index on by default
Due to the implementation detail of intent-to-add entries, the current
"git diff" (i.e. no treeish or --cached argument) would show the
changes in the i-t-a file, but it does not mark the file as new, while
"diff --cached" would mark the file as new while showing its content
as empty.
$ git diff | $ diff --cached
--------------------------------|-------------------------------
diff --git a/new b/new | diff --git a/new b/new
index
e69de29..

One evidence of the current output being wrong is that, the output
from "git diff" (with ita entries) cannot be applied because it
assumes empty files exist before applying.
Turning on --ita-invisible-in-index [1] [2] would fix this. The result
is "new file" line moving from "git diff --cached" to "git diff".

This option is on by default in git-status [1] but we need more fixup
in rename detection code [3]. Luckily we don't need to do anything
else for the rename detection code in diff.c (wt-status.c uses a
customized one).
