Diff panel visibility check gains a new condition that currently has no effect

What

The logic deciding whether to show the diff panel in the terminal's status/footer area now also checks a new function, but that function is hardcoded to always return false, so the new condition is always satisfied and changes nothing yet.

Why

This appears to be groundwork for a future change to diff panel visibility that isn't active in this build.
