We fail to release the memory for the nodes. To fix it however, we some consumer of the commit graph iterator need to be corrected: the returned pointer is safe to be used only up until the next iter_next call; save a copy it if it's needed afterwards too. ok stsp@

Make the choice of diff algorithm configurable by diff API users. The got and gotweb programs keep using Patience diffs which are prettier than Myers. But tog should be as fast as possible since it is being used interactively. If performance of Patience diff gets improved later we can consider switching tog back over to it. ok tracey jamsek

Instead of internally opening and closing the same commit object over and over again, require callers to pass an open commit object in. Avoids an inherent dependency on the commit object cache for reasonable performance. ok op@

The singly-linked tail queue macros were added to OpenBSD 6.9 and are more widely available on other systems. ok stsp

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.
