gitk: Use --textconv to generate diff text

For the most part gitk's focus is on showing history and changes in
a human readable form.  For this reason, it makes sense to generate
the patch text in the diff view using --textconv so that textconv
drivers are used if they are defined.

gitk can also generate patches, but we do not use --textconv because
such patches could not be applied.
