The ha field is serving two different purposes, which makes the code
harder to read. At first glance, it looks like many places assume
there could never be hash collisions between lines of the two input
files. In reality, line_hash is used together with xdl_recmatch() to
ensure correct comparisons of lines, even when collisions occur.
To make this clearer, the old ha field has been split:
* line_hash: a straightforward hash of a line, independent of any
external context. Its type is uint64_t, as it comes from a fixed
width hash function.
* minimal_perfect_hash: Not a new concept, but now a separate
field. It comes from the classifier's general-purpose hash table,
which assigns each line a unique and minimal hash across the two
files. A size_t is used here because it's meant to be used to
index an array. This also avoids ` as usize` casts on the Rust
side when using it to index a slice.

The only values possible for 'changed' is 1 and 0, which exactly maps
to a bool type. It might not look like this because action1 and action2
(which use to be dis1, and dis2) were also of type char and were
assigned numerical values within a few lines of 'changed' (what used to
be rchg).
Using DISCARD/KEEP/INVESTIGATE for action1[i]/action2[j], and true/false
for changed[k] makes it clear to future readers that these are
logically separate concepts.

The field rchg (now 'changed') declares if a line in a file is changed
or not. A later commit will change it's type from 'char' to 'bool'
to make its purpose even more clear.

xdfile_t currently uses chastore_t which is an arena allocator. I
think that xrecord_t used to be a linked list and recs didn't exist
originally. When recs was added I think they forgot to remove
xdfile_t.next, but was overlooked. This dual data structure setup
makes the code somewhat confusing.
Additionally the C type chastore_t isn't FFI friendly, and provides
little to no performance benefit over using realloc to grow an array.
Performance impact of deleting fields from xdfile_t:
Deleting ha is about 5% slower.
Deleting cha is about 5% faster.

These are no longer used since 9df0fc3d57 (xdiff: fix a memory leak,

Add a helper for allocating an array and initialize the elements to
zero. This is analogous to CALLOC_ARRAY() in the rest of the codebase
but it returns NULL on allocation failures rather than dying to

Although the patience and histogram algorithms initialize the
environment they do not free it if there is an error. In contrast for
the Myers algorithm the environment is initalized in xdl_do_diff() and
it is freed if there is an error. Fix this by always initializing the
environment in xdl_do_diff() and freeing it there if there is an
error. Remove the comment in do_patience_diff() about the environment
being freed by xdl_diff() as it is not accurate because (a) xdl_diff()
does not do that if there is an error and (b) xdl_diff() is not the
only caller.

Since 663c5ad035 (diff histogram: intern strings, 2021-11-17), our
cmp_recs() does not call xdl_recmatch(), and thus no longer needs an
xpparam_t struct from which to get the flags. We can drop the unused
parameter from the function, as well as the macro which wraps it.
There's no functional change here; it's just simplifying things (and
making -Wunused-parameter happier).

This macro has been unused since 43ca7530df (xdiff/xhistogram: rely on
xdl_trim_ends(), 2011-08-01). The function that called it went away
there, and its use in the CMP() macro was inlined. It probably should
have been deleted then, but nobody noticed.

Histogram is the only diff algorithm not to call
xdl_classify_record(). xdl_classify_record() ensures that the hash
values of two strings that are not equal differ which means that it is
not necessary to use xdl_recmatch() when comparing lines, all that is
necessary is to compare the hash values. This gives a 7% reduction in
the runtime of "git log --patch" when using the histogram diff
algorithm.

xpparam_t structures are usually zero-initialized before their specific
fields are assigned to, but there are three locations in the tree where
that does not happen. Add the missing memset() calls in order to make
initialization of xpparam_t structures consistent tree-wide and to
prevent stack garbage from being used as field values.

This fixes a memory issue when recursing a lot, which can be reproduced as
seq 1 100000 >one
seq 1 4 100000 >two
git diff --no-index --histogram one two
Before this patch, histogram_diff would call itself recursively before
calling free_index, which would mean a lot of memory is allocated during
the recursion and only freed afterwards. By moving the memory allocation
(and its free call) into find_lcs, the memory is free'd before we recurse,
such that memory is reused in the next step of the recursion instead of
using new memory.
This addresses only the memory pressure, not the run time complexity,
that is also awful for the corner case outlined above.
Helpful in understanding the code (in addition to the sparse history of
this file), was https://stackoverflow.com/a/32367597 which reproduces
most of the code comments of the JGit implementation.

By passing the 'xpp' and 'env' argument directly to the function
'fall_back_to_classic_diff', we eliminate an occurrence of the 'index'
in histogram_diff, which will prove useful in a bit.
While at it, move it up in the file. This will make the diff of
one of the next patches more legible.

Because the default Myers, patience and histogram algorithms cannot be in
effect at the same time, XDL_PATIENCE_DIFF and XDL_HISTOGRAM_DIFF are not
independent bits. Instead of wasting one bit per algorithm, define a few
macros to access the few bits they occupy and update the code that access
them.

Port JGit's HistogramDiff algorithm over to C. Rough numbers (TODO) show
that it is faster than its --patience cousin, as well as the default
Meyers algorithm.
The implementation has been reworked to use structs and pointers,
instead of bitmasks, thus doing away with JGit's 2^28 line limit.
We also use xdiff's default hash table implementation (xdl_hash_bits()
with XDL_HASHLONG()) for convenience.
