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.
