git-diff.txt: document return code of `--no-index`

Within diff_no_index(), we have the following:

	revs->diffopt.flags.exit_with_status = 1;

	...

	/*
	 * The return code for --no-index imitates diff(1):
	 * 0 = no changes, 1 = changes, else error
	 */
	return diff_result_code(&revs->diffopt, 0);

Which means when `git diff` is run in `--no-index` mode, `--exit-code`
is implied. However, the documentation for this is missing in
git-diff.txt.

Add a note about how `--exit-code` is implied in the `--no-index`
documentation to cover this documentation blindspot.
