Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.
This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".
On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:
GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test

We truncate hunk-header line at 80 bytes, but that 80th byte
could be in the middle of a character, which is bad. This uses
pick_one_utf8_char() function to make sure we do not cut a character
in the middle.
This assumes that the internal representation of the text is
UTF-8. This needs to be extended in the future but the optimal
direction has not been decided yet.
