In commit 11c1d79414e2571 "xfstests: Change the diff output of failed tests", the diff output of a failed test was hardcoded to 10 lines to avoid overly long output and user can get the full output by manually running the diff. However this is not always possible and convenient, eg. in repeated automated tests where the required information is lost after the test round finished. Then the caputred logs do not contain enough informatin for analysis. Introduce the DIFF_LENGTH env variable to tune the diff size, keeping it 10 as deafult and 0 to disable the limit.
