Currently, blobdiff can only compare blobs with different file names, if no hb/hpb parameters are present.

This patch adds support for comparing two blobs specified by any combination of hb/f/h and hpb/fp/hp.

New version, as I found a bug in the expiration handling code.

I unified all blobdiff variants and added support for comparing blobs with different names.

If h/hp parameter are missing, I need to generate them with git_get_hash_by_path, as the are needed for the html header, which is generated before parsing the git-diff output.

I currently ignore all mode changed, as they are part of the tree. I don't think that displaying a mode change message justifes two call to git-ls-tree for each blob diff (Currently it only calls git-ls-tree for each missing h/hp parameter).
