[PATCH v2 4/8] gitweb: Use print_diff_chunk() for both side-by-side and inline diffs

This renames print_sidebyside_diff_chunk() to print_diff_chunk() and makes use of it for both side-by-side and inline diffs. Now diff lines are always accumulated before they are printed. This opens the possibility to preprocess diff output before it's printed, which is needed for diff refinement highlightning (implemented in incoming patches).

If left as is, the new function print_inline_diff_lines() could reorder diff lines. It first prints all context lines, then all removed lines and finally all added lines. If the diff output consisted of mixed added and removed lines, gitweb would reorder these lines. This is true for combined diff output, for example:

	 - removed line for first parent
	 + added line for first parent
	  -removed line for second parent
	 ++added line for both parents
would be rendered as:
	- removed line for first parent
	 -removed line for second parent
	+ added line for first parent
	++added line for both parents

To prevent gitweb from reordering lines, print_diff_chunk() calls print_diff_lines() as soon as it detects that both added and removed lines are present and there was a class change.
