[PATCH 1/4] diff.h: extend "flags" field to 64 bits because we're out of bits

Current flags field is 32-bits, all used except one bit and we need one more bit is needed for to toggle i-t-a behavior. The 9th bit could be reused for this, but we could just extend it to 64 bits now to give room for more future flags.

gcc -Wconversion is used to catch assignments that truncate bits. No new warning was introduced (in fact one in index_differs_from() was eliminated),
