Merge diff-font-lock-refine and diff-auto-refine-mode into diff-refine
This change was discussed in Bug#32991. * admin/gitmerge.el (gitmerge-resolve): Bind 'diff-refine' instead of 'diff-auto-refine-mode' to nil. * doc/emacs/files.texi (Diff Mode): Explain 'diff-refine' instead of 'diff-auto-refine-mode' in the documentation of 'diff-hunk-next' and 'diff-hunk-prev'. Mention in the documentation of 'diff-refine-hunk' that refining is already done by default. * etc/NEWS (Diff mode): Explain renamed 'diff-refine' variable and mention deprecation and disabling of 'diff-auto-refine-mode'. * lisp/vc/diff-mode.el (diff-font-lock-refine): Rename to 'diff-refine' and allow choices nil, 'font-lock' and 'navigation'. (diff-auto-refine-mode): Disable it by default, make it obsolete and make it set 'diff-refine' appropriately to keep backward compatibility. (diff-hunk-next, diff-hunk-prev): Adapt to rename of diff-auto-refine-mode and ensure that refining only happens when calling these commands interactively. (diff--font-lock-refined): Adapt to rename of diff-font-lock-refine. * lisp/vc/smerge-mode.el (smerge-next, smerge-prev): Check that 'diff-refine' is set instead of checking 'diff-auto-refine-mode' when deciding whether to refine a conflict.

+*** Hunks are now automatically refined by font-lock.
+To disable refinement, set the new defcustom 'diff-refine' to nil.
+To get back the old behavior where hunks are refined as you navigate
+through a diff, set 'diff-refine' to the symbol 'navigate'.
++++
+*** 'diff-auto-refine-mode' is deprecated in favor of 'diff-refine'.
+It is no longer enabled by default and binding it no longer has any
+effect.

*** Better syntax highlighting of Diff hunks.
