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
python -c 'print "confuse str.splitlines\nembedded\rnewline"' > a
hg ci -Ama -d '1 0'
echo clean diff >> a
hg ci -mb -d '2 0'
hg diff -r0 -r1
