If there is more than one potential moved block and the longest block
is not the first element of the array of potential blocks then the
block is cut short. With --color-moved=blocks this can leave moved
lines unpainted if the shortened block does not meet the block length
requirement. With --color-moved=zebra then in addition to the
unpainted lines the moved color can change in the middle of a single
block.
Fix this by freeing the whitespace delta of the match we're discarding
rather than the one we're keeping.

While I was working on this I spotted a couple of other issues I don't
have time to fix myself at the moment, so I thought I mention them in
case someone else wants to pick them up
1) I think there is a potential memory leak at the end of
mark_color_as_moved(). If pmb_nr > 0 then the whitespace deltas
need freeing before freeing pmb itself.
2) The documentation could be improved to explain that
allow-indentation-change does not work with indentation that
contains a mix of tabs and spaces and the motivation for that
(python?) [I've got some code to add an option that supports that
which I'll post when I've written some tests after 2.19 is
released]

I agree on this hunk, as it will fix the mem leak in the case of
allow-indentation-change, wondering if we need the same in
pmb_advance_or_null as well (and anywhere where there is a
'pmb[i] = NULL' assignment outside the swapping below.).
I don't think we don't call pmb_advance_or_null() if we're using
pmb[i]->wsd. I'm not sure if there are other sites that set 'pmb[i] =
NULL' when pmb[i]->wsd has been allocated.

Eh, this makes sense, though I had to think about it for a
while as I was confused. By the first line in the condition we
also keep around the ->wsd pointer as is.
Yes, it took me ages to work out that this is what was breaking the
highlighting.
