xdiff: give up scanning similar lines early
In a corner case of large files whose lines do not match uniquely, the
loop to eliminate a line that matches multiple locations adjacent to a run
of lines that do not uniquely match wasted too much cycles. Fix this by
giving up early after scanning 100 lines in both direction.
