diff_generate: fix unsetting diff flags#4426

Conversation
In commit 9be638e (git_diff_generated: abstract generated diffs, 2016-04-19), the code for generated diffs was moved out of the generic "diff.c" and instead into its own module. During that conversion, it was forgotten to remove the macros `DIFF_FLAG_IS_SET`, `DIFF_FLAG_ISNT_SET` and `DIFF_FLAG_SET`, which are now only used in "diff_generated.c". Remove those macros now.
The macro `DIFF_FLAG_SET` can be used to set or unset a flag by modifying the diff's bitmask. While the case of setting the flag is handled correctly, the case of unsetting the flag was not. Instead of inverting the flags, we are inverting the value which is used to decide whether we want to set or unset the bits. The value being used here is a simple `bool` which is `false`. As that is being uplifted to `int` when getting the bitwise-complement, we will end up retaining all bits inside of the bitmask. As that's only ever used to set `GIT_DIFF_IGNORE_CASE`, we were actually always ignoring case for generated diffs. Fix that by instead getting the bitwise-complement of `FLAG`, not `VAL`.

The macro
DIFF_FLAG_SETcan be used to set or unset a flag bymodifying the diff's bitmask. While the case of setting the flag is
handled correctly, the case of unsetting the flag was not. Instead of
inverting the flags, we are inverting the value which is used to decide
whether we want to set or unset the bits.
The value being used here is a simple
boolwhich isfalse. As thatis being uplifted to
intwhen getting the bitwise-complement, we willend up retaining all bits inside of the bitmask. As that's only ever
used to set
GIT_DIFF_IGNORE_CASE, we were actually always ignoringcase for generated diffs.
Fix that by instead getting the bitwise-complement of
FLAG, notVAL.
