tests: Solaris cmp complains about empty files, even with -s

When you compare an empty file, such as /dev/null, with a non-empty file,
Solaris cmp complains on stderr with "cmp: EOF on /dev/null", even if the
-s argument is present.  GNU cmp makes the complaint, but silences it with
-s.  We can change the pdiff utility to simply redirect stderr to /dev/null
so that we don't have to worry about this difference in the test files.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m test

Do we ever miss a sub-second change?:

  $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20; do
  >     hg co -qC 0
  >     echo b > a
  >     hg st
  > done
