xdiff: reduce indent heuristic overhead

Browse Source 
Skip searching for better indentation heuristics if we'd slide a hunk more
than its size. This is the easiest fix proposed in the analysis[1] in
response to a patch that mercurial took for xdiff to limit searching
by a constant. Using a performance test as:

     #!python
     open('a', 'w').write(" \n" * 1000000)
     open('b', 'w').write(" \n" * 1000001)

This patch reduces the execution of "git diff --no-index a b" from
0.70s to 0.31s. However limiting the sliding to the size of the diff hunk,
which was proposed as a solution (that I found easiest to implement for
now) is not optimal for cases like

     open('a', 'w').write(" \n" * 1000000)
     open('b', 'w').write(" \n" * 2000000)

as then we'd still slide 1000000 times.

In addition to limiting the sliding to size of the hunk, also limit by a
constant. Choose 100 lines as the constant as that fits more than a screen,
which really means that the diff sliding is probably not providing a lot
of benefit anyway.
