[PATCH v1 9/9] diff --color-moved-ws: handle blank lines

From

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

When using --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change allow lines with the same indentation change to be grouped across blank lines. For now this only works if the blank lines have been moved as well, not for blocks that have just had their indentation changed.

This completes the changes to the implementation of --color-moved=allow-indentation-change. Running

  git diff --color-moved=allow-indentation-change v2.18.0 v2.19.0

now takes 5.0s. This is a saving of 41% from 8.5s for the optimized version of the previous implementation and 66% from the original which took 14.6s.

Notes:
    Changes since rfc:
     - Split these changes into a separate commit.
     - Detect blank lines when processing the indentation rather than
       parsing each line twice.
     - Tweaked the test to make it harder as suggested by Stefan.
     - Added timing data to the commit message.
