diff family: add --check option

Actually, it is a diff option now, so you can say

git diff --check

to ask if what you are about to commit is a good patch.

[jc: this also would work for fmt-patch, but the point is that
 the check is done before making a commit.  format-patch is run
 from an already created commit, and that is too late to catch
 whitespace damaged change.]
