The coloring of moved lines is currently only related to the presentation,
as there are no options to export the move detection information into
the patch format. Hence we can be very loose about the default, so let's
ignore any white space change for the move detection. If a user really
cares about move detection detecting only lines moved byte-for-byte,
they can exercise the --color-moved-no-ignore-* options.
