Various options to "diff(1)" show filenames, and traditionally make use of the

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.

Instead of doing a second pass to skip empty lines if we've specified -I, go
ahead and check both at once. Ignore critera has been split out into its own
function to try and keep the logic cleaner.
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.

original commit log by miller@OpenBSD r1.46:
Fix exit value when diffing directories with missing files and the -N
or -P options are not used. From Ibrahim Khalifa
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

This was a change I forgot to port over from
^/head/gnu/usr.bin/diff/tests/Makefile@r272787.
i.e., when print_only is called.
Prior to this change, -rq was always returning 0. After this change it will
return 1 if there is a difference between two directories.
This fixes compatibility with GNU diff and unbreaks backwards compatibility
expectations.

usr.bin/diff/diffreg.c:1085: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function
This version of gcc is not smart enough to see that 'i' cannot actually
be used unitialized. However, the variable is confusingly re-used, so
it is better to give it another name, and clearly initialize it before
attempting to use it.

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
