This may happen, for instance, if one happens to have an alias of diff to
diff -up and attempts to specify the amount of context on top of that.
Aliases like this may cause other problems, but if they're really not ever
generating non-unified diffs then we should at least not break that
use-case.
In addition, we'll now pick up a format mismatch if -p is specified with
!contextual && !unified && !unset.
Fix up a small trailing whitespace nit in the tests while we're here, and
add tests to make sure that we can double up all the formatting options.

This matches GNU diff(1) behavior and, more importantly, eliminates any
source of confusion if multiple formatting options are specified.
Note that the committed diff differs slightly from the submitted: I've
modified it so that we initialize diff_format to something that isn't an
accepted format option so that we can also reject --normal -c and -c
--normal, which would've otherwise been accepted because the default was
--normal. After option parsing we default it to D_NORMAL if it's still
unset.

--tabsize was previously listed as optional_argument, but didn't account for
the optionality of it in the argument handling. This is irrelevant -- the
manpage doesn't indicate that the argument is optional, and indeed there's
no clear interpretation of omitting the argument because there's no other
side effect of --tabsize.
The "malformed" argument part of the header on this message is simply
referring to usage like this:
% diff --tabsize 4 A B
With an optional_argument, the argument must be attached to the parameter
directly (e.g. --tabsize=4), so the argument is effectively NULL with the
above invocation as if no argument had been passed.

As noted by cem in r338035, coccinelle invokes diff(1) with the -B flag.
This was not previously implemented here, so one was forced to create a link
for GNU diff to /usr/local/bin/diff
Implement the -B flag and add some primitive tests for it. It is implemented
in the same fashion that -I is implemented; each chunk's lines are scanned,
and if a non-blank line is encountered then the chunk will be output.
Otherwise, it's skipped.

`basename $0`.
This was a change I forgot to port over from
^/head/gnu/usr.bin/diff/tests/Makefile@r272787.
These are were created proactively, in anticipation of the support being
fully implemented sometime in the future.
The tests currently fail on ^/head@r319845, however. Expect them to fail.

Tested with: gdiff
etcupdate(8) requires that option, while GNU diff supports many more variation
of that options, their behaviour beside the simple verion implemented here are
quite inconsistent as such I do not plan to implement those.
The only special keyword supported by this implementation are: %< and %>
%= is not implemented as the documentation of GNU diff says: common lines, but
it actually when tested print the changes from the first file
Show nanoseconds in the -u/-c header line.
The present portability conditionals cannot handle the POSIX standard
st_mtim, so remove them and unconditionally use st_mtim.

usr.bin/diff/diff_test was renamed to usr.bin/diff/netbsd_diff_test

Some of the modifications from the previous summer of code has been integrated
Modification for compatibility with GNU diff output has been added
Main difference with OpenBSD:
Implement multiple GNU diff options:
* --ignore-file-name-case
* --no-ignore-file-name-case
* --normal
* --tabsize
* --strip-trailing-cr
Make diff -p compatible with GNU diff
Implement diff -l
Make diff -r compatible with GNU diff
Capsicumize diffing 2 regular files
Add a simple test suite
