Previously -q (just print a line when files differ) ignored flags like
-w (ignore whitespace). Avoid the D_BRIEF short-circuit when flags are

It's currently unclear to me how this could have worked previously; \n here
is not a literal newline but actual '\' 'n', and was getting passed to the
underlying regex engine as such. regex(3) does not translate this to a
newline, and this became an error because we don't really allow escaping
of arbitrary ordinary characters anymore.
Run the pattern strings through printf to make sure we're dealing with real
newlines before passing them through to atf_check, which ultimately feeds
them directly to regcomp(3).
This fix is different than that will be needed for sed, in that this is the
proper way to inject newlines into search strings as long as regex(3)
won't combine \ + n as folks might expect.

Various options to "diff(1)" show filenames, and traditionally make use of the
"--label" parameter, if set.
Restore this behaviour in BSD diff.

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.

This was a change I forgot to port over from

These are were created proactively, in anticipation of the support being

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

* --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
