Avoid revision comparison timeouts caused by word-level diffs of very long lines. When either matched line exceeds 10,000 bytes, retain the existing line-level diff with both complete, escaped lines; shorter lines continue to receive word-level highlighting.

Add regression coverage for the length boundary, HTML and multibyte content, split and unified views, mixed line lengths, and comparison and restoration of revisions containing long block content.
