bdiff: add a xdiffblocks method
This is similar to `bdiff.blocks`, but uses xdiff as the backend.
The indent heuristic is turned on by default since it has little overhead
and improves diff quality significantly.

xdiff: reduce indent heuristic overhead
Adds some threshold to avoid expensive cases, like:
```
#!python
open('a', 'w').write(" \n" * 1000000)
open('b', 'w').write(" \n" * 1000001)
```
The indent heuristic is O(N * 20) (N = 1000000) for the above case, and
makes diff much slower.
Before this patch (system git 2.14.2):
```
git diff --no-indent-heuristic a b 0.21s user 0.03s system 100% cpu 0.239 total
git diff --indent-heuristic a b 0.77s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 0.785 total
```
After this patch (git
2fc74f41, with xdiffi.c patched):
```
# with the changed xdiffi.c
git diff --indent-heuristic a b 0.16s user 0.01s system 90% cpu 0.188 total
git diff --no-indent-heuristic a b 0.18s user 0.01s system 99% cpu 0.192 total
```
Now turning on indent-heuristic has no visible impact on performance.

xdiff: add a bdiff hunk mode
xdiff generated hunks for the differences (ex. questionmarks in the
`@@ -?,? +?,? @@` part from `diff --git` output). However, bdiff generates
matched hunks instead.
This patch adds a `XDL_EMIT_BDIFFHUNK` flag used by the output function
`xdl_call_hunk_func`. Once set, xdiff will generate bdiff-like hunks
instead. That makes it easier to use xdiff as a drop-in replacement of bdiff.
Note that since `bdiff('', '')` returns `[(0, 0, 0, 0)]`, the shortcut path
`if (xscr)` is removed. I have checked functions called with `xscr` argument
(`xdl_mark_ignorable`, `xdl_call_hunk_func`, `xdl_emit_diff`,
`xdl_free_script`) work just fine with `xscr = NULL`.
Test Plan:
Will be tested in a later patch.
