fix 3-way merge of files which lack a final \n

problem found by jrick ok millert

use Myers diff instead of Patience diff when merging files with diff3

Myers diff tends to divide files into smaller diff chunks, while Patience diff attemps to maximize the size of diff chunks. Smaller diffs chunks generally result in a more managable presentation of merge conflicts.

merge new diff implementation from the git.gameoftrees.org diff.git repository

This new diff implementation was started by Neels Hofmeyr during the u2k20 hackathon and now replaces diffreg.c code lifted from the OpenBSD base system. The integration of this code into Got was done by me. Got now uses the patience diff algorithm by default. The diff.git repository will remain the primary repository for the diff code, which already compiles and runs on other operating systems such as Linux. Any fixes and improvements for files inherited from the diff.git repository should be written against that repository and synced to got.git afterwards.

make tmp dir location a compile-time setting and change gotweb's tmp dir

We are not sure whether a gotweb package can own /var/www/tmp on OpenBSD. Moving gotweb's tmp dir to /var/www/got/tmp sidesteps that issue.
