diff-filter: be more careful when looking for negative bits

The `--diff-filter=<bits>` option allows to filter the diff by certain
criteria, for example `R` to only show renamed files. It also supports
negating a filter via a down-cased letter, i.e. `r` to show _everything
but_ renamed files.

However, the code is a bit overzealous when trying to figure out whether
`git diff` should start with all diff-filters turned on because the user
provided a lower-case letter: if the `--diff-filter` argument starts
with an upper-case letter, we must not start with all bits turned on.

Even worse, it is possible to specify the diff filters in multiple,
separate options, e.g. `--diff-filter=AM [...] --diff-filter=m`.

Let's accumulate the include/exclude filters independently, and only
special-case the "only exclude filters were specified" case after
parsing the options altogether.

Note: The code replaced by this commit took pains to avoid setting any
unused bits of `options->filter`. That was unnecessary, though, as all
accesses happen via the `filter_bit_tst()` function using specific bits,
and setting the unused bits has no effect. Therefore, we can simplify
the code by using `~0` (or in this instance, `~<unwanted-bit>`).
