[PATCH 3/6] xdiff: show non-empty lines before functions with -W

Non-empty lines before a function definition are most likely comments for that function and thus relevant. Include them in function context.

Such a non-empty line might also belong to the preceeding function if there is no separating blank line. Stop extending the context upwards also at the next function line to make sure only one extra function body is shown at most.
