[ update to textproc/diffutils ]

According to Edwin Groothuis:

This commit gives me the opportunity to reopen a not-so-recent can of
worm: can we update diffutils in the base and put back a virgin version of
patch?

We are gratuituously different from probably all the other Unixes in that
we need the port versions of patch/diff for svn and arch. That's
ridiculous IMNSHO.

It needs to be carefully tested WRT to cvs but I really really think we
need to do it.

I'm even willing to do the work if needs be.
