diff-highlight: exit when a pipe is brokenjs/diff-highlight-avoid-sigpipe
While using diff-highlight with other tools, I have discovered that Python ignores SIGPIPE by default. Unfortunately, this also means that tools attempting to launch a pager under Python--and don't realize this is happening--means that the subprocess inherits this setting. In this case, it means diff-highlight will be launched with SIGPIPE being ignored. Let's work with those broken scripts by restoring the default SIGPIPE handler.
