xdiff: remove patience and histogram diff algorithms

Patience diff is the normal diff algorithm, plus some greediness that
unconditionally matches common common unique lines.  That means it is easy to
construct cases to let it generate suboptimal result, like:

```
open('a', 'w').write('\n'.join(list('a' + 'x' * 300 + 'u' + 'x' * 700 + 'a\n')))
open('b', 'w').write('\n'.join(list('b' + 'x' * 700 + 'u' + 'x' * 300 + 'b\n')))
```

Patience diff has been advertised as being able to generate better results for
some C code changes. However, the more scientific way to do that is the
indention heuristic [1].

Since patience diff could generate suboptimal result more easily and its
"better" diff feature could be replaced by the new indention heuristic, let's
just remove it and its variant histogram diff to simplify the code.

Test Plan:
`gcc -fPIC *.c --shared -o xdiff.so` still builds.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2573

Corrupt an hg repo with a pull started during an aborted commit
Create two repos, so that one of them can pull from the other one.

  $ hg init source
  $ cd source
  $ touch foo
  $ hg add foo
  $ hg ci -m 'add foo'
  $ hg clone . ../corrupted
  updating to branch default
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo >> foo
  $ hg ci -m 'change foo'

Add a hook to wait 5 seconds and then abort the commit

  $ cd ../corrupted
  $ echo "[hooks]" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'pretxncommit = sh -c "sleep 5; exit 1"' >> .hg/hgrc

start a commit...

  $ touch bar
  $ hg add bar
  $ hg ci -m 'add bar' &

... and start a pull while the commit is still running

  $ sleep 1
  $ hg pull ../source 2>/dev/null
  pulling from ../source
  transaction abort!
  rollback completed
