diff --no-index: refuse to compare stdin to a directory
When the user runs
git diff --no-index file directory
we follow the behavior of POSIX diff and rewrite the arguments as
git diff --no-index file directory/file
Doing that when "file" is "-" (which means "read from stdin") does not
make sense so we should error out if the user asks us to compare "-" to
a directory. This matches the behavior of GNU diff and diff on *BSD.
