Files /dev/null and b/file3 differ

Of course, with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 the situation is worse ...

A midway compromise solution would be to detect if either file
is binary ourselves and not to call diff but always say "Binary
files difer".

Actually, there's a better way:

$ diff -u /dev/null /tmp/ra
Binary files /dev/null and /tmp/ra differ
$ echo $?
2

So the trivial fix is to emit our own "Binary files FOO and BAR differ"
line if the exit status is 2.
