Fixes new west diff --manifest option added by commit 0d5ee4e ("app: project: Allow to diff against manifest revision")

Do not pass project.revision to git diff because project.revision is unresolved user input and does not always resolve to a commit. For instance, project.revision can be the name of a remote branch like v3.7-branch that does not exist locally; then git diff fails. Or even worse: there could be a local branch of the same name which points to a totally different commit.

This bug was found when discussing issue #747, see 7th comment there for a longer description of what manifest-rev is and how it works.
