[PATCH 1 of 2 STABLE] diffhelpers: add canstripcr=True to fix_newline

[Phillip Cohen]

I had chatted with Jun about this earlier -- if the most elegant way
is simply to wait for his patch or Yuya's to improve the C module
versioning, which would have to wait until after the freeze anyway,
then this would have to wait too. I'm fine with that since it seems
the most reasonable approach all around and avoids major churn.

And, as you noted, the carriage return sufferers have waited this
long, they can probably wait a little longer.
