ContextDiffer class

Generates the context format of diff -c.

The context format introduced at Berkeley helped with distributing patches for source code that have been changed minimally.

In the context format, any changed lines are shown alongside unchanged lines before and after. The context format introduces greater readability for humans and reliability when applying the patch, and an output which is accepted as input to the patch program.
