'--color-words' algorithm can be described as:
1. collect a the minus/plus lines of a diff hunk, divided into minus-lines and plus-lines;
2. break both minus-lines and plus-lines into words and place them into two
   mmfile_t with one word for each line;
3. use xdiff to run diff on the two mmfile_t to get the words level diff;

And for the common parts of the both file, we output the plus side text. diff_words->current_plus is used to trace the current position of the plus file which printed. diff_words->last_minus is used to trace the last minus word printed.

For '--graph' to work with '--color-words', we need to output the graph prefix
on each line of color words output. Generally, there are two conditions on
which we should output the prefix.
1. diff_words->last_minus == 0 && diff_words->current_plus == diff_words->plus.text.ptr
   that is: the plus text must start as a new line, and if there is no minus
   word printed, a graph prefix must be printed.
2. diff_words->current_plus > diff_words->plus.text.ptr && *(diff_words->current_plus - 1) == '\n'
   that is: a graph prefix must be printed following a '\n'
