It was hard to understand how it's related to C-x v v.
But then I realized it saves time to do what currently is done with:
'C-c C-r' (diff-reverse-direction)
'C-c C-a' (diff-apply-hunk)
'k' (diff-hunk-kill).

Probably this change is not needed if 'diff-discard-hunk'
could avoid using 'diff-apply-hunk', and instead rely
on the algorithm from 'diff-apply-buffer'.  Also optional
region arguments 'beg' and 'end' could be added to
'diff-apply-buffer'.
