bdiff: give slight preference to removing trailing lines

[This change could be folded into the previous changeset to minimize the repo
churn ...]

Similar to the previous change, introduce an exception to the general
preference for matches in the middle of bdiff ranges: If the best match on the
B side starts at the beginning of the bdiff range, don't aim for the
middle-most A side match but for the earliest.

New (later) matches on the A side will only be considered better if the
corresponding match on the B side *not* is at the beginning of the range.
Thus, if the best (middle-most) match on the B side turns out to be at the
beginning of the range, the earliest match on the A side will be used.

The bundle size for 4.0 (hg bundle --base null -r 4.0 x.hg) happens to go from
22807275 to 22808120 bytes - a 0.004% increase.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution
# markers created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests are run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not
# enable evolution markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not
# enable evolution markers, hg will occasionally complain
# when it notices them, which disrupts tests resulting in
# sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the
# test-repo, there's no harm in telling hg that we support
# evolution markers, which is what the following lines
# for the hgrc file do:
cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
[experimental]
evolution=createmarkers
EOF
