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.

kern(1) has been using /proc/config.gz as the source of the currently
running kernel's config since its initial commit. Whilst this location
is convenient because of its static nature, it does need a specific
kernel option, IKCONFIG_PROC, to be set.
Furthermore, it introduces a dependency on gzip(1) to decompress the
file on the fly. Consequently, we need to stream gzip's output to
commands or save it in a temporary file to access it neatly.
Since Gentoo's default install script for the kernel, installkernel(8),
places each kernel's configuration file in /boot, we can use this
location to retrieve the currently running kernel's configuration
instead and work around all of the above limitations.
Of course we need to make sure that /boot is mounted before we try
accessing any configuration files on there. We use the already existing
code from install_kernel() for that.
