    diffutils: update to 3.8

    * Noteworthy changes in release 3.8 (2021-08-01) [stable]

    ** Incompatible changes

      diff no longer treats a closed stdin as representing an absent file
      in usage like 'diff --new-file - foo <&-'.  This feature was rarely
      if ever used and was not portable to POSIX platforms that reopen
      stdin on exec, such as SELinux if the process underwent an AT_SECURE
      transition, or HP-UX even if not setuid.

    ** Bug fixes

      diff and related programs no longer get confused if stdin, stdout,
      or stderr are closed.  Previously, they sometimes opened files into
      file descriptors 0, 1, or 2 and then mistakenly did I/O with them
      that was intended for stdin, stdout, or stderr.

      cmp, diff and sdiff no longer treat negative command-line
      option-arguments as if they were large positive numbers.
