If there is more than one potential moved block and the longest block
is not the first element of the array of potential blocks then the
block is cut short. With --color-moved=blocks this can leave moved
lines unpainted if the shortened block does not meet the block length
requirement. With --color-moved=zebra then in addition to the
unpainted lines the moved color can change in the middle of a single
block.

Fix this by freeing the whitespace delta of the match we're discarding
rather than the one we're keeping.

While I was working on this I spotted a couple of other issues I don't
have time to fix myself at the moment, so I thought I mention them in
case someone else wants to pick them up

1) I think there is a potential memory leak at the end of
   mark_color_as_moved(). If pmb_nr > 0 then the whitespace deltas
   need freeing before freeing pmb itself.

2) The documentation could be improved to explain that
   allow-indentation-change does not work with indentation that
   contains a mix of tabs and spaces and the motivation for that
   (python?) [I've got some code to add an option that supports that
   which I'll post when I've written some tests after 2.19 is
   released]
