Porting/core-cpan-diff: Remove '--binary' on *BSDs
Other things being equal, Porting/core-cpan-diff defaults to passing '-u
--binary' to the 'diff' command. It turns out that, though '--binary'
is not a *documented* option for GNU diff, it is present in the source
code (rjbs research in
https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/19027#issuecomment-898901007). The
'--binary' option clearly does *not* work on FreeBSD and probably
doesn't work on other *BSDs. On those systems, running the program
spews more than 80,000 lines of error output.
Code revised to remove '--binary' on *BSDs. Documentation adjusted.
