Highlights

• Use git diff for diffs by @danvk in https://github.com/danvk/webdiff/pull/150
  webdiff no longer generates its own diffs. Rather, it relies on git diff to generate them. It is, in effect, just a frontend for git diff --no-index. This provides support for detecting rename+change, and all of the other git diff options, e.g. -w for ignoring whitespace and --algorithm.
• Use git config for configuration. See #150.
• Add host option by @danvk in https://github.com/danvk/webdiff/pull/160 — serve webdiff under any host name you like, e.g. 0.0.0.0.
• Updates to dependencies
