Unify whitespace checking

This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was
performed:

 - the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is
extracted into a function in ws.c

 - the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed

 - the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also
rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c

The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things:
checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking
is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the
caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on
the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display
whitespace errors in blobs.

At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors
found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.
