gclient: diff against hash in DEPS

When someone runs "gclient diff", they expect to be diffing their
local state against the state of a clean gclient checkout.

Up until now, "gclient diff" has been doing... not that. It's been
assuming that the sha1 in DEPS is approximately the head of the
remote's master branch, finding the merge-base between the local
content and that remote master, and diffing against that merge-base.
This makes basically no sense in the context of gclient. With
gclient, we already know exactly what should be checked out: it's
whatever is in DEPS.

This CL updates the behavior of "gclient diff" to do the right thing.
