refactor(diff): use VSCode Git extension

Git.

 ### Getting user input
 
 Use custom wrapper `askUser()` instead of the native [InputBox API](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#InputBox) which would result in procedural, verbose and brittle client code.

+Types for the [Git integration for VSCode](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/extensions/git) are vendored at [`src/types/git.ts`](src/types/git.ts).

+To update those, proceed as follows:
+
+```sh
+$ export VSCODE_TAG="1.88.1" # Adjust this to match desired version of VSCode.
+$ git remote add vscode "https://github.com/microsoft/vscode.git"
+$ git fetch --depth 1 vscode "$VSCODE_TAG"
