Drop nvim(1) dependency in diff_kernel
Commit 1b8d91f ("Use configuration file under /boot instead of /proc/config.gz") enables us to drop neovim as a dependency, since we can now access all configuration data through actual files. Use git-diff(1) (which has automatic paging & colours) if available to show the changes between kernel configurations, else fall back to diff(1). Since the exit code of diff utilities is >0 if inputs are different, ignore the exit code of the diff utility in test_diff() to continue like normal.
