diff: do not concatenate immutable bytes while building a/b bodies (issue6445)

Use bytearray instead. I don't know what's changed since Python 2, but bytes
concatenation is 100x slow on Python 3.

  % python2.7 -m timeit -s "s = b''" "for i in range(10000): s += b'line'"
  1000 loops, best of 3: 321 usec per loop

  % python3.9 -m timeit -s "s = b''" "for i in range(10000): s += b'line'"
  5 loops, best of 5: 39.2 msec per loop

Benchmark using tailwind.css (measuring the fast path, a is empty):

  % HGRCPATH=/dev/null python2.7 ./hg log -R /tmp/issue6445 -p --time \
  --color=always --config diff.word-diff=true >/dev/null
  (prev) time: real 1.580 secs (user 1.560+0.000 sys 0.020+0.000)

Benchmark using random tabular text data (not the fast path):

  % dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1k count=1000 | hexdump -v -e '16/1 "%3u," "\n"' > ttf
  % hg ci -ma
  % dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1k count=1000 | hexdump -v -e '16/1 "%3u," "\n"' > ttf
  % hg ci -mb

  % HGRCPATH=/dev/null python2.7 ./hg log -R /tmp/issue6445 -p --time \
  --color=always --config diff.word-diff=true >/dev/null
  (prev) time: real 3.240 secs (user 3.040+0.000 sys 0.200+0.000
  (this) time: real 3.230 secs (user 3.070+0.000 sys 0.160+0.000)

  % HGRCPATH=/dev/null python3.9 ./hg log -R /tmp/issue6445 -p --time \
