[PATCH 2/4] diff.c: refactor parse_ws_error_highlight()

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

Rename the function to parse_ws_error_highlight_opt(), because it is
meant to parse a command line option, and then refactor the meat of
the function into a helper function that reports the parsed result
which is typically a small unsigned int (these are OR'ed bitmask
after all), or a negative offset that indicates where in the input
string a parse error happened.
