Phabricator doesn't like the patch as it's too big and `arc diff` produces an error=/

> The current diff -I approach has two problems:  (1) it does not allow resolution finer than line-level, so it's impossible to mask out pattern occurrences within a line, and (2) it produces unmasked files, so if you run diff on the command line to compare the result .q.out with the checked-in file, you see the noise.
> My suggestion is to first run sed to replace noise patterns with an unlikely-to-occur string like ZYZZYZVA, and then diff the pre-masked files without using any -I.
> This would require a one-time hit to update all existing .q.out files so that they would contain the pre-masked results.
