When comparing two lines, ignoring any whitespace at the end, we first
try to match as many bytes as possible and break out of the loop only
upon mismatch, to let the remainder be handled by the code shared with
the other whitespace-ignoring code paths.
When comparing the bytes, however, we incremented the counters always,
even if the bytes did not match. And because we fall through to the
space-at-eol handling at that point, it is as if that mismatch never
happened.

When a single character is added to a line, the combination of these
two options results in an empty diff.
This bug was noticed and reported by Naja Melan.

Group the test cases into two functions, test_diff_(frobnitz|unique).
This in preparation for the histogram diff algorithm, which would also
re-use these test cases.
