    Reviewers

    This adds UnifiedDiffWriter.write_index(), which writes a standard
    Index: ... line, followed by 67 = characters.

    This is a fairly standard convention used by Unified Diff variants to
    help separate files when there may not otherwise be a clear boundary.
    For instance, when there may be metadata changes or binary file
    differences, but no ---/+++ headers.

    Like other methods, this accepts byte strings or Unicode strings,
    handling encoding automatically.

    Unit tests passed.

    Used this in some in-progress work.
