[PATCH v2] diff: update conflict handling for whitespace to issue a warning

["Usman Akinyemi via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Usman Akinyemi <usmanakinyemi202@gmail.com>

Modify the conflict resolution between tab-in-indent and
indent-with-non-tab to issue a warning instead of terminating
the operation with `die()`. Update the `git diff --check` test to
capture and verify the warning message output.
