diff: implement some ignore-space rules

The added comparison functions correspond to --ignore-all-space and
--ignore-space-change. --ignore-space-at-eol can be combined with the other
flags, so it will have to be implemented as a preprocessing function.
--ignore-blank-lines will also require some change in the tokenizer function.
