gitweb: Highlight interesting parts of diff
Reading diff output is sometimes very hard, even if it's colored, especially if lines differ only in few characters. This is often true when a commit fixes a typo or renames some variables or functions. This commit teaches gitweb to highlight characters that are different between old and new line with a light green/red background. This should work in the similar manner as in Trac or GitHub. The algorithm that compares lines is based on contrib/diff-highlight. Basically, it works by determining common prefix/suffix of corresponding lines and highlightning only the middle part of lines. For more information, see contrib/diff-highlight/README. Combined diffs are not supported but a following commit will change it. Since we need to pass esc_html()'ed or esc_html_hl_regions()'ed lines to format_diff_lines(), so it was taught to accept preformatted lines passed as a reference.
