This new error mode allows a line to have a carriage return at the
end of the line when checking and fixing trailing whitespace errors.
Some people like to keep CRLF line ending recorded in the repository,
and still want to take advantage of the automated trailing whitespace
stripping. We still show ^M in the diff output piped to "less" to
remind them that they do have the CR at the end, but these carriage
return characters at the end are no longer flagged as errors.

Instead of highlighting the entire initial indent, highlight only the
problematic spaces.
In the case of an indent like ' \t \t' there may be multiple problematic
ranges, so it's easiest to emit the highlighting as we go instead of
trying rember disjoint ranges and do it all at the end.

After this patch, "written" counts the number of bytes up to and
including the most recently seen tab. This allows us to detect (and
count) spaces by comparing to "i".
This allows catching initial indents like '\t ' (a tab followed
by 8 spaces), while previously indent-with-non-tab caught only indents
that consisted entirely of spaces.
This also allows fixing an indent-with-non-tab regression, so we can
again detect indents like '\t \t'.
Also update tests to catch these cases.

The variable leading_space is initially used to represent the index of
the last space seen before a non-space. Then later it represents the
index of the first non-indent character.
It will prove simpler to replace it by a variable representing a number
of bytes. Eventually it will represent the number of bytes written so
far (in the stream != NULL case).

Reorganize to emphasize the most complicated part of the code (the tab
case).

If there were no tabs, and the last space was at position 7, then
positions 0..7 had spaces, so there were 8 spaces.
Update test to check exactly this case.

The initial version of the whitespace_error_string() function took the
messages from builtin-apply.c rather than the shorter messages from
diff.c.
This commit addresses Junio's concern that these messages might be too
long (now that we can emit multiple warnings per line).

This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was
performed:
- the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is
extracted into a function in ws.c
- the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed
- the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also
rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c
The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things:
checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking
is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the
caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on
the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display
whitespace errors in blobs.
At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors
found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.

The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer
control per path.
For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:
frotz whitespace
nitfol -whitespace
xyzzy whitespace=-trailing
all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:
*.c whitespace
*.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab
in its toplevel .gitattributes file.
