xdiff: refactor xdl_hash_record()

Inline the check for whitespace flags so that the compiler can hoist it out of the loop in xdl_prepare_ctx(). This improves the performance by 8%. $ hyperfine --warmup=1 -L rev HEAD,HEAD^ --setup='git checkout {rev} -- :/ && make git' ': {rev}; GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null ./git log --oneline --shortstat v2.0.0..v2.5.0' Benchmark 1: : HEAD; GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null ./git log --oneline --shortstat v2.0.0..v2.5.0 Time (mean ± σ): 1.670 s ± 0.044 s [User: 1.473 s, System: 0.196 s] Range (min … max): 1.619 s … 1.754 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: : HEAD^; GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null ./git log --oneline --shortstat v2.0.0..v2.5.0 Time (mean ± σ): 1.801 s ± 0.021 s [User: 1.605 s, System: 0.192 s] Range (min … max): 1.766 s … 1.831 s 10 runs Summary ': HEAD^; GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null ./git log --oneline --shortstat v2.0.0..v2.5.0' ran 1.08 ± 0.03 times faster than ': HEAD^^; GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null ./git log --oneline --shortstat v2.0.0..v2.5.0' Signed-off-by: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
