What does this MR do and why?

Contriubutes to #23284 (closed)

Problem

diff field doesn't return diff headers compatible with Unified format.

Solution

Use Unified format for diffs when unidiff option is provided. It should keep the backward compatibility with existing API.

Unified format: https://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/Detailed-Unified.html

The current version of diff output is missing two headers:

--- a/test.yml
+++ b/test.yml

http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v4/projects/1/repository/commits/HEAD/diff?unidiff=true

How to set up and validate locally

1. Request diff for a commit in current diff format: http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v4/projects/2/repository/commits/HEAD/diff
2. Request diff for a commit in unidiff format: http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v4/projects/2/repository/commits/HEAD/diff?unidiff=true
