    Remove -w (--ignore-all-space) option from pg_regress's diff calls. · ce3153fa

    We have used -w for a long time as a means of reducing the reported diff
    volume when one element of a result table isn't of the expected width.
    However, most of the time the results just pass anyway, so this isn't as
    important as it once was.  Meanwhile, the risk of missing potentially
    significant deviations has gone up, particularly with psql's ability to
    report error cursor positions.  So, let's switch over to space-sensitive
    comparisons.  Per my proposal of yesterday.
    
    (All the expected files that I can test here seem to be ready for this
    already, but we'll see what the buildfarm thinks about others.)
