userdiff: add builtin driver for INI files

Add a new builtin driver for generic INI files (e. g. the gitconfig
files), where:

- the funcname regular expression matches section names, i. e. any
  string between brackets at the beginning of the line, with or without
  indentation;

- word_regex matches any word with one or more non-whitespace
  characters without checking if it is a valid variable name or value.

Also add tests for the new userdiff driver. These files define sections
and subsections, with and without indentation.
