perf(gitdiff): optimize inline diff highlighting using cache (#38706)

This pull request optimizes code diff highlighting in the PR Files
Changed view, which is a major CPU bottleneck and hot path in
production.

Previously, Gitea executed the expensive `DiffMatchPatch` algorithm
twice for every matching deleted/added line pair (once for the deleted
line, and once for the added line). We now run the diff algorithm once
and cache the resulting `DiffInline` on the `DiffLine` struct itself,
allowing the second line to render via a 0-cost cache lookup.
