diff.c: --ws-error-highlight=<kind> option

Traditionally, we only cared about whitespace breakages introduced
in new lines.  Some people want to paint whitespace breakages on old
lines, too.  When they see a whitespace breakage on a new line, they
can spot the same kind of whitespace breakage on the corresponding
old line and want to say "Ah, those breakages are there but they
were inherited from the original, so let's not touch them for now."

Introduce `--ws-error-highlight=<kind>` option, that lets them pass
a comma separated list of `old`, `new`, and `context` to specify
what lines to highlight whitespace errors on.
