range-diff: indent special lines as context

The range-diff coloring is a bit fuzzy when it comes to special lines of a diff, such as indicating new and old files with +++ and ---, as it would pickup the first character and interpret it for its coloring, which seems annoying as in regular diffs, these lines are colored bold via DIFF_METAINFO. By indenting these lines by a white space, they will be treated as context which is much more useful, an example [1] on the range diff series itself: [...] + diff --git a/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt + new file mode 100644 + --- /dev/null + +++ b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt +@@ ++git-range-diff(1) [...] + diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile [...] The first lines that introduce the new file for the man page will have the '+' sign colored and the rest of the line will be bold. The later lines that indicate a change to the Makefile will be treated as context both in the outer and inner diff, such that those lines stay regular color.
