In the original implementation of the move detection logic the choice for
ignoring white space changes is the same for the move detection as it is
for the regular diff. Some cases came up where different treatment would
have been nice.
Allow the user to specify that white space should be ignored differently
during detection of moved lines than during generation of added and removed
lines. This is done by providing analogs to the --ignore-space-at-eol,
-b, and -w options by introducing the option --color-moved-ws=<modes>
with the modes named "ignore-space-at-eol", "ignore-space-change" and
"ignore-all-space", which is used only during the move detection phase.
As we change the default, we'll adjust the tests.
For now we do not infer any options to treat white spaces in the move
detection from the generic white space options given to diff.
This can be tuned later to reasonable default.
As we plan on adding more white space related options in a later patch,
that interferes with the current white space options, use a flag field
and clamp it down to XDF_WHITESPACE_FLAGS, as that (a) allows to easily
check at parse time if we give invalid combinations and (b) can reuse
parts of this patch.
By having the white space treatment in its own option, we'll also
make it easier for a later patch to have an config option for
spaces in the move detection.

++
+--
+ignore-space-at-eol::
+ Ignore changes in whitespace at EOL.
+ignore-space-change::
+ Ignore changes in amount of whitespace. This ignores whitespace
+ at line end, and considers all other sequences of one or
+ more whitespace characters to be equivalent.
+ignore-all-space::
+ Ignore whitespace when comparing lines. This ignores differences
+ even if one line has whitespace where the other line has none.
+
--word-diff[=<mode>]::
Show a word diff, using the <mode> to delimit changed words.
By default, words are delimited by whitespace; see
