diff: move diffline to patch module

diffline is not part of diff computation, so it makes more sense
to place it with other header generation in patch module.

In upcoming patches we will generalize this approach for
all headers added in the patch, including the git index
header.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
