Change.PatchContext: User-provided ctx timeout is not applied in filePatchWithContext, falls back to 1-hour diff execution

Bug Description
There is a hidden bug in the Change.PatchContext method: even when users call this function with a ctx that has a timeout of only a few seconds, filePatchWithContext always uses diff.Do(fromContent, toContent) — which has a one-hour execution timeout. This is extremely confusing for users. I've opened a pull request to fix this: 1910
