mdiff: fix diff -b/B/w on mixed whitespace hunks (issue127)

Previous code was computing hunks then checking if these hunks could be ignored
when taking whitespace/blank-lines options in accounts. This approach is simple
but fails with hunks containing both whitespace and non-whitespace changes, the
whole hunk is emitted while it can be mostly made of whitespace. The new
version normalize the whitespaces before hunk generation, and test for
blank-lines afterwards.

#!/bin/sh

hg init a
cd a
cp $TESTDIR/binfile.bin .
hg add binfile.bin
hg ci -m 'add binfile.bin'

echo >> binfile.bin
hg ci -m 'change binfile.bin'

hg revert -r 0 binfile.bin
hg ci -m 'revert binfile.bin'

echo % diff -r 0 -r 1
hg diff --nodates -r 0 -r 1

echo % diff -r 0 -r 2
hg diff --nodates -r 0 -r 2

echo % diff --git -r 0 -r 1
hg diff --git -r 0 -r 1

echo % diff --git -r 0 -r 2
hg diff --git -r 0 -r 2
