Michael Haggerty 5b162879e9 blame: honor the diff heuristic options and config
Teach "git blame" and "git annotate" the --compaction-heuristic and
--indent-heuristic options that are now supported by "git diff".

Also teach them to honor the `diff.compactionHeuristic` and
`diff.indentHeuristic` configuration options.

It would be conceivable to introduce separate configuration options for
"blame" and "annotate"; for example `blame.compactionHeuristic` and
`blame.indentHeuristic`. But it would be confusing to users if blame
output is inconsistent with diff output, so it makes more sense for them
to respect the same configuration.

These are to help debugging and tuning experimental heuristics
(which are off by default) that shift diff hunk boundaries to
make patches easier to read.
