Update diff(1) TODO removing what has been implemented

diff(1): Implement -B/--ignore-blank-lines

As noted by cem in r338035, coccinelle invokes diff(1) with the -B flag.
This was not previously implemented here, so one was forced to create a link
for GNU diff to /usr/local/bin/diff

Implement the -B flag and add some primitive tests for it. It is implemented
in the same fashion that -I is implemented; each chunk's lines are scanned,
and if a non-blank line is encountered then the chunk will be output.
Otherwise, it's skipped.

Modification for compatibility with GNU diff output has been added

Main difference with OpenBSD:
Implement multiple GNU diff options:
* --ignore-file-name-case
* --no-ignore-file-name-case
* --normal
* --tabsize
* --strip-trailing-cr
Make diff -p compatible with GNU diff
Implement diff -l
Make diff -r compatible with GNU diff

Capsicumize diffing 2 regular files
