Remove git-external-diff from tools directory

The git-external-diff bash script could not be executed due to syntax
errors without it being reported, which indicates that it hasn't been
used by anyone in a long time. Rather than spending energy on fixing
dead code, the conclusion in the thread was to remove it.
