Revise documentation on unified diff format and include diagrams for at least 
classic, svn and hg diff.

Unified diff format doc describes SVN format. This format doesn't cover all 
user stories and is not extensive. Normalized patch format should get rid of 
these deficiencies.

1. Normalized diff uses only forward slashes in paths
2. All filenames in normalized diff are relative

Unified diff about if file is patched is unreliable.
