[PATCH] Rework built-in diff to make its output more dense.

Linus says,

    The fewer lines there are that don't usually tell a human
    anything, the better. Dense is good.

This patch makes the default diff output more dense.  This
removes the previous misguided attempt to be cg-patch
compatible.
