Log Message:
Abstract the I/O routines within netdiff to work with either areas of
memory (mmap'ed or allocated), or with stdio; use the appropriate
implementation automatically.  This doesn't change comparisons which
use normal file I/O through stdio in any way - all of the existing
tests continue to pass; however, in addition, it enables the use of
the same comparison functionality on areas of memory.

Using the abstracted I/O, add a diff_mem() function to compare two
areas of memory.  Within the comparison, unless labels are provided
for each area of memory, any netdiff output will be labelled "lhs" and
"rhs".  The mtime for comparison output is taken to be the time at
which the comparison was started, and is the same for both areas of
memory.

Together with the function which retrieves comparison output in
memory, this allows us to do diff comparisons without hitting any file
system at all.

Directory comparisons continue to function in exactly the same way.

Add an example program called memdiff (again, not installed), which
uses mmap to read its input files, diff_mem() to compare the memory,
and diff_get_diffs() to retrieve the differences, all completely in
memory.  Add tests for this program, including filters so that we
don't check the mtimes on the areas of memory compared.

Regular files can still be compared using diff_file(), or the
higher-level difference(), although these will not be as quick as the
mmap()/diff_mem()/diff_get_diffs() combination.
