This adds support for two new diff algorithms, Myers diff and Patience
diff.
These algorithms perform a different form of search compared to the
classic Stone algorithm and support escapes when worst case scenarios
are encountered.
Add the -A flag to allow selection of the algorithm, but default to
using the new Myers diff implementation.
The libdiff implementation currently only supports a subset of input and
output options supported by diff. When these options are used, but the
algorithm is not selected, automatically fallback to the classic Stone
algorithm until support for these modes can be added.

The previous logic conflated some things... in this block:
- j: input characters rendered so far
- nc: number of characters in the line
- col: columns rendered so far
- hw: column width ((h)ard (w)idth?)
Comparing j to hw or col to nc are naturally wrong, as col and hw are
limits on their respective counters and nc is already brought down to hw
if the input line should be truncated to start with.
Right now, we end up easily truncating lines with tabs in them as we
count each tab for $tabwidth lines in the input line, but we really
should only be accounting for them in the column count. The problem is
most easily demonstrated by the two input files added for the tests,
the two tabbed lines lose at least a word or two even though there's
plenty of space left in the row for each side.

With --ignore-file-name-case we need to compare files regardless of
case. We need to propigate both names down to diffit so we can look up
the correct file when the names differ based on case, otherwise we try
to look up the file using the case from the a tree which might not be
discoverable if its case is different in the b tree.

It's currently unclear to me how this could have worked previously; \n here
is not a literal newline but actual '\' 'n', and was getting passed to the
underlying regex engine as such. regex(3) does not translate this to a
newline, and this became an error because we don't really allow escaping
of arbitrary ordinary characters anymore.
Run the pattern strings through printf to make sure we're dealing with real
newlines before passing them through to atf_check, which ultimately feeds
them directly to regcomp(3).
This fix is different than that will be needed for sed, in that this is the
proper way to inject newlines into search strings as long as regex(3)
won't combine \ + n as folks might expect.

This may happen, for instance, if one happens to have an alias of diff to
diff -up and attempts to specify the amount of context on top of that.
Aliases like this may cause other problems, but if they're really not ever
generating non-unified diffs then we should at least not break that
use-case.
In addition, we'll now pick up a format mismatch if -p is specified with
!contextual && !unified && !unset.
Fix up a small trailing whitespace nit in the tests while we're here, and
add tests to make sure that we can double up all the formatting options.

This matches GNU diff(1) behavior and, more importantly, eliminates any
source of confusion if multiple formatting options are specified.
Note that the committed diff differs slightly from the submitted: I've
modified it so that we initialize diff_format to something that isn't an
accepted format option so that we can also reject --normal -c and -c
--normal, which would've otherwise been accepted because the default was
--normal. After option parsing we default it to D_NORMAL if it's still
unset.

--tabsize was previously listed as optional_argument, but didn't account for
the optionality of it in the argument handling. This is irrelevant -- the
manpage doesn't indicate that the argument is optional, and indeed there's
no clear interpretation of omitting the argument because there's no other
side effect of --tabsize.
The "malformed" argument part of the header on this message is simply
referring to usage like this:
% diff --tabsize 4 A B
With an optional_argument, the argument must be attached to the parameter
directly (e.g. --tabsize=4), so the argument is effectively NULL with the
above invocation as if no argument had been passed.

As noted by cem in r338035, coccinelle invokes diff(1) with the -B flag.
This was not previously implemented here, so one was forced to create a link
for GNU diff to /usr/local/bin/diff
Implement the -B flag and add some primitive tests for it. It is implemented
in the same fashion that -I is implemented; each chunk's lines are scanned,
and if a non-blank line is encountered then the chunk will be output.
Otherwise, it's skipped.
