diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines

peff · gitster · commit 3b40a090fd4e · 2018-11-05T13:14:35.000+09:00
Some callers of xdi_diff_outf() do not look at the generated hunk header
lines at all. By plugging in a no-op hunk callback, this tells xdiff not
to even bother formatting them.

This patch introduces a stock no-op callback and uses it with a few
callers whose line callbacks explicitly ignore hunk headers (because
they look only for +/- lines).
