[PATCH 4/9] diff: discard hunk headers for patch-ids earlier

From

We do not include hunk header lines when computing patch-ids, since the line numbers would create false negatives. Rather than detect and skip them in our line callback, we can simply tell xdiff to avoid generating them.

This is similar to the previous commit, but split out because it actually requires modifying the matching line callback.
