Merge branch 'rc/histogram-diff'

* rc/histogram-diff:
  xdiff/xhistogram: drop need for additional variable
  xdiff/xhistogram: rely on xdl_trim_ends()
  xdiff/xhistogram: rework handling of recursed results
  xdiff: do away with xdl_mmfile_next()
  Make test number unique
  xdiff/xprepare: use a smaller sample size for histogram diff
  xdiff/xprepare: skip classification
  teach --histogram to diff
  t4033-diff-patience: factor out tests
  xdiff/xpatience: factor out fall-back-diff function
  xdiff/xprepare: refactor abort cleanups
  xdiff/xprepare: use memset()
