fix(startup): use nvim.difftool for nvim -d only for directories #40185

Problem:
`nvim -u NONE -d <(xxd one) <(xxd two)` has weird behavior.
Process substitution `<(...)` is a pipe and not a seekable file.

Test case:

    cat /dev/random | head -c 10240 > one 
    cp one two
    cat /dev/random | head -c 10240 >> two
    nvim -u NONE -d <(xxd one) <(xxd two)

Solution:
Workaround the issue by skipping `nvim.difftool` if the 2 args are not
directories; fall-through to the builtin diff handling.
