we should configure nbdime to always clear outputs #2

outputs in a merged notebook are pretty meaningless/undefined

in particular i've noticed nbdime offer this mangled, minging monstrosity

this sort of thing can only be bad for reproducibility, even if we ended up with a merged commit metadata chunk with consistent IDs, it would be wrong (IDs should map onto exactly one set of metadata)

let's configure our nbdime to ALWAYS clear all cell outputs, and not offer the user the option to keep them.
