rubygem-diffy uses system's "diff" or "ldiff" (from %{_bindir}, tbh). "diff" is
coming from package called "diffutils" and it present in minimal system
(because if I'm trying to remove diffutils I'm getting errors about removing
systemd and dnf). This means that Requires: /usr/bin/diff is not needed. About
"ldiff".. It comes from "rubygem-diff-lcs". According to sources[0], it tries
to find "diff" first and if it's not found - tries to use "ldiff", so if we
will add Requires: /usr/bin/ldiff it will be not used at all, so it's
unnecessary.
