Currently, it's not possible to use the space-ignoring options (-b, -w,
--ignore-space-at-eol) with combined diff. It makes it pretty impossible
to read a merge between a branch that changed all tabs to spaces, and a
branch with functional changes.

Pass diff flags to diff engine, so that combined diff behaves as normal
diff does with spaces.

It also means that a conflict-less merge done using a ignore-* strategy
option will not show any conflict if shown in combined-diff using the
same option.

That should be reviewed carefully as I'm not exactly sure that does make
sense with the way combined-diff works.
Still it seems natural to me to be able to remove the space in combined
diff as we do with normal diff. Especially as I unfortunately have to
deal with many space + feature merges that are very hard to analyze/handle
if space differences can't be hidden.

Cheers,
Antoine
