Vim 7.4.1810 stopped sending DETACH to the out_cb handler to mark the
end of the job's stdout. Instead we add a close_cb handler which does
what the out_cb handler used to do upon receiving DETACH.
Before the plugin tries to diff a file, it checks whether git is
tracking the file. If git isn't tracking the file, it stops there and
doesn't display any signs. If git is tracking the file, the plugin
remembers so next time it can skip the check.
When I introduced asynchronous diffing for NeoVim (18b78361), I made a
refactoring mistake which caused the plugin on second and subsequent
runs [to always think git is tracking a file][1].
The non-realtime diffs – the ones you get when you save a buffer –
basically run `git diff FILE`. With an untracked file git returns
nothing and exits successfully. So although the plugin erroneously
thinks git is tracking the file, it gets an error-free, empty diff back
and so removes any and all signs. Which means that the bug doesn't make
any difference.
However the realtime diffs write the buffer's contents to a temporary
file, and write the file as staged in the index to a temporary file,
then run `git diff FILE1 FILE2`. To write the staged version of the
file we use `git show :FILE > TMPFILE`.
When `FILE` isn't known to git, `git show :FILE` exits with an error.
Unless, that is, [the filename contains square brackets and you're using
git v2.5.0+][2], in which case git exits successfully with empty output.
So if you're using git v2.5.0+, and you're editing an untracked file in
a repository, and the filename contains square brackets, the plugin will
think: git is tracking the file; the realtime diff is successful; the
file in the index is empty; so every line in the the working copy must
be an addition; hence a `+` sign on every line.

"Undo" is a better name than "revert" because:
- "revert" sounds like it has something to do with `git-revert` but they
are entirely different;
- "undo" is consistent with vim's "undo": discarding changes and going
back to the original.
Maintain backwards compatibility and add deprecation warnings.
Closes#306.
Pass the git command to `jobstart()` as a string, not a list.
`jobstart()` does some kind of internal black magic to parse strings
like `'"/usr/bin/env bash" -l'`, whereas it would be impossible to pass
in an equivalent argument using a list.
