difftool's dir-diff feature was blindly feeding worktree paths
to hash-object without checking whether the path was indeed a
file, causing the feature to fail when repositories contain
symlinks to directories.

Ensure that only files are ever given to hash-object.
Add a test to demonstrate the breakage.
