Merge lp:~richard-wilbur/bzr/update-diff-format-parser into lp:bzr

[Richard Wilbur]

Split diff format option parser into a separate function, update to include all format options for GNU diff v3.2, and test parser. Fixes lp:1370435

Split diff format option parser into a separate function for testability, update to include all format options for GNU diff v3.2, and test parser.

This is needed because we default to 'unified' diff format if no other format is specified, but the parser didn't recognize several valid format specifiers. If we add '-u' (unified diff format) to a set of options already containing a valid format specifier, diff rightfully complains.

Also fixed a diagnostic message, an exception handler, some spelling and latest copyright dates.

Fixes lp:1370435

[Richard Wilbur (richard-wilbur)]

The changes are relatively trivial.

Can't reproduce the bug with these changes.

Passes the test suite.
