patch: refactor content diffing part in separate fn so extensions can wrap
Right now extdiff uses it's own logic using archival to diff two versions of
file using external diff tools. This makes the extdiff functionality
non-extensible.
This series is an attempt to refactor core patch and diff functionality so that
extdiff can wrap and reuse it. This will help us in using external diffing tools
at more places and not just extdiff command only then.
