mdiff: convert a few block definitions from lists to tuples

These were flagged by adding type hints.  Some places were using a tuple of 4
ints to define a block, and others were using a list of 4.  A tuple is better
for typing, because we can define the length and the type of each entry.  One of
the places had to redefine the tuple, since writing to a tuple at an index isn't
supported.

This change spills out into the tests, and archeology says it was added to the
repo in this state.  There was no reason given for the divergence, and I suspect
it wasn't intentional.

It looks like `splitblock()` is completely unused in the codebase.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
