The range-diff coloring is a bit fuzzy when it comes to special lines of
a diff, such as indicating new and old files with +++ and ---, as it
would pickup the first character and interpret it for its coloring, which
seems annoying as in regular diffs, these lines are colored bold via
DIFF_METAINFO.
By indenting these lines by a white space, they will be treated as context
which is much more useful, an example [1] on the range diff series itself:
[...]
+ diff --git a/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt
+ new file mode 100644
+ --- /dev/null
+ +++ b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt
+@@
++git-range-diff(1)
[...]
+
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
[...]
The first lines that introduce the new file for the man page will have the
'+' sign colored and the rest of the line will be bold.
The later lines that indicate a change to the Makefile will be treated as
context both in the outer and inner diff, such that those lines stay
regular color.

All lines that use emit_line_0 multiple times per line, are combined
into a single call to emit_line_0, making use of the 'set' argument.
We gain a little efficiency here, as we can omit emission of color and
accompanying reset if 'len == 0'.

The 'expect'ed outcome has been taken by running the 'range-diff | decode'.

These are essentially lifted from https://github.com/trast/tbdiff, with
light touch-ups to account for the command now being named `git
range-diff`.
Apart from renaming `tbdiff` to `range-diff`, only one test case needed
to be adjusted: 11 - 'changed message'.
The underlying reason it had to be adjusted is that diff generation is
sometimes ambiguous. In this case, a comment line and an empty line are
added, but it is ambiguous whether they were added after the existing
empty line, or whether an empty line and the comment line are added
*before* the existing empty line. And apparently xdiff picks a different
option here than Python's difflib.
