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

-y:
* soc implemented it via calling sdiff directly, but some options are
incompatible so it is fragile
* just recommend the user to run sdiff directly and do not implement it
* make a libsdiff and use that directly to avoid duplicating the code
to be implemented:
--suppress-common-lines: depends on -y
--ignore-blank-lines
--horizon-lines
--ignore-tab-expansion
--line-format
Will probably be not implemented:
--GTYPE-group-format
--LTYPE-line-format
--speed-large-file: (Do we need that? only a stub?)
--help (We have a manpage already)
