Try to clarify these commands are intended to be useful for
git-using (usually software) projects (and not the bare git
repos we use internally).

We'll also document some commonly useful git-diff switches
in the lei-rediff man page to highlight the usefulness
of the command.

Implicit stdin based on standard input being a pipe or regular
file is here to stay, so save users the trouble of typing '-'
or '--stdin'.

Inline::C is required as of commit 1d6e1f9a6a66 (lei: require
Socket::MsgHdr or Inline::C, drop oneshot, 2021-05-26); but
Socket::MsgHdr still gives a noticeable improvement in bash
completion speed.

Also, spell-out "MESSAGE-ID" since "MID" is actually not a
common abbreviation ("MSGID" is used by RFC 3977 and several
other RFCs, I recall).
