httppeer: work around API differences on urllib Request objects
Since this is only a problem in httppeer, I'd rather keep this a
local-to-the-module kludge rather than pile more on pycompat. We'll
still find it easily to clean up later because it checks
pycompat.ispy3.

patch: implement a new worddiff algorithm
The previous worddiff algorithm has many problems. The major problem is it
does a "similarity check" that selects a subset of matched lines to do
inline diffs. It is a bad idea because:
- The "similarity check" is non-obvious to users. For example, a simple
change from "long long x" to "int64_t x" will fail the similarity check
and won't be diff-ed as expected.
- Selecting "lines" to diff won't work as people expect if there are line
wrapping changes.
- It has a sad time complexity if lines do not match, could be O(N^2)-ish.
There are other problems in implementation details.
- Lines can match across distant hunks (if the next hunk does not have
"-" lines).
- "difflib" is slow.
The solution would be removing the "similarity check", and just diff all
words in a same hunk. So no content will be missed and everything will be
diff-ed as expected. This is similar to what code review tool like
Phabricator does.
This diff implements the word diff algorithm as described above. It also
avoids difflib to be faster.
Note about colors: To be consistent, "changed inserted" parts and "purely
insertion blocks" should have a same color, since they do not exist in the
previous version. Instead of highlighting differences, this patch chooses to
dim common parts. This is also more consistent with Phabricator or GitHub
webpage. That said, the labels are defined in a way that people can still
highlight changed parts and leave purely inserted/deleted hunks use the
"non-highlighted" color.
As one example, running:
hg log -pr
df50b87d8f736aff8dc281f816bddcd6f306930c mercurial/commands.py \
--config experimental.worddiff=1 --color=debug --config diff.unified=0
The previous algorithm outputs:

Practically, when diffing a 8k line change, the time spent on worddiff
reduces from 4 seconds to 0.14 seconds.

patch: buffer lines for a same hunk
Instead of yielding tokens directly, buffer them if they belong to a same
hunk. This makes it easier for the upcoming new worddiff algorithm to only
focus on the diff hunk, instead of having to worry about other contents.
This breaks how the existing experimental worddiff algorithm works, so the
algorithm was removed, and related tests are disabled for now. The next patch
will add a new worddiff algorithm.

patch: move yielding "\n" to the end of loop
The original logic makes it harder to reason about - it yields the "\n"
character belonging to the last line in the next loop iteration.
The new code is in theory a little bit slower. But is more readable. It
makes the following changes easier to read.
