diff --whitespace=warn/error: fix blank-at-eof check

The "diff --check" logic used to share the same issue as the one fixed for
"git apply" earlier in this series, in that a patch that adds new blank
lines at end could appear as

    @@ -l,5 +m,7 @@$
    _context$
    _context$
    -deleted$
    +$
    +$
    +$
    _$
    _$

where _ stands for SP and $ shows a end-of-line.  Instead of looking at
each line in the patch in the callback, simply count the blank lines from
the end in two versions, and notice the presence of new ones.
