I sometimes find it useful to view a regression test difference using
other diff options, such as -u -w or more context. There is currently
no easy way to accomplish that.
I suggest allowing to override the diff options using an environment
variable, such as PG_REGRESS_DIFF_OPTS. The patch is very small.
