diff: clarify textconv interface
The memory allocation scheme for the textconv interface is a
bit tricky, and not well documented. It was originally
designed as an internal part of diff.c (matching
fill_mmfile), but gradually was made public.
Refactoring it is difficult, but we can at least improve the
situation by documenting the intended flow and enforcing it
with an in-code assertion.
