Issue 528: Improper display of inner whitespace in attachments

Reported by Thomas Keller, Sep 1, 2010

The attachment view for diff or patch files is quite ugly, since 
IDF_Diff::pad only replaces the leading whitespaces by  's, 
but not the inner ones, leading to improper indentation for added 
('+') or removed ('-') lines or - of course - any kind of other file 
where more than one whitespace needs to be present.

IMHO the above mentioned function should be completly replaced by 
browser CSS - because "white-space: pre" has actually the 
effect we want, without custom   replacement at all. 
According to quirksmode (
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/whitespace.html) this CSS property is 
available in all major browsers, even IE6.

Fixed in commit d994e0e. For now I only changed the CSS, so the view 
looks proper now, but the code which replaces the spaces 
(IDF_Diff::padLine) is still in there and should probably also 
removed some time.
